10 Inch Big Blue Descaler with steel bracket (including 2kg Siliphos Crystals)

The DESCALER10 is a compact, low-maintenance solution for treating hard water in residential plumbing systems. Housed in a durable 10-inch Big Blue filter housing with a steel powder coated bracket, it comes pre-filled with 2kg of Siliphos crystals that help prevent limescale and corrosion in pipes, geysers, and appliances. Ideal for homes using municipal or borehole water, this system helps extend the life of your plumbing and heating systems.

Key Features:

• Reduces limescale and corrosion in household plumbing and appliances

• Contains 2kg of Siliphos crystals to condition hard water

• Prevents scale deposits in geysers, kettles, dishwashers, and washing machines

• Suitable for municipal and borehole water (borehole use requires water analysis submission)

• No electricity, salt, or backwashing required

• Installs neatly against a wall using the included steel powder coated bracket

• Simple maintenance: top up crystals as they dissolve over time

How It Works:

• Siliphos is a food-grade polyphosphate crystal that sequesters calcium and magnesium ions in water

• This prevents these minerals from forming hard limescale deposits on heating elements and pipework

• Water passes through the housing and over the crystals, treating it as it flows to your household supply

• Also helps reduce corrosion, particularly in older plumbing systems

Specifications:

• 25 mm female inlet and outlet ports (1 inch BSP) – compatible with standard plumbing and can be adapted to smaller sizes if needed

• Contains 2kg of Siliphos crystals

• Optimal flow rate: 1500 litres per hour

• Maximum flow rate: 3000 litres per hour

• Maximum pressure: 6 bar

• Crystals dissolve over time and must be topped up periodically based on usage and water quality

• In extreme cases with excessive lime, the crystals may melt together and cause blockages—if lime content is unusually high, a water softener may be a more effective solution

What’s Included:

• 1 x 10-inch Big Blue filter housing

• 2 kg Siliphos crystals in a refillable media housing (pre-filled)

• 1 x Steel powder coated wall-mount bracket with screws

• 1 x Wrench for easy housing access and maintenance

The DESCALER10 offers an efficient and cost-effective way to manage hard water without the complexity of traditional water softeners. Protect your pipes, improve appliance lifespan, and maintain consistent water quality—all with a system that’s simple to install and easy to maintain.

Disclaimer: Big blue filters are intended for fine filtration and limits apply to water quality and quantity. Have your water tested before installing a big blue filter to ensure that it is the right solution. It is important to note that the volume of water put through the unit as well as the quality of the water will greatly influence the lifetime of the filters.
