UK tap water in many regions carries high calcium and magnesium carbonates. When heated to 85°C+, these minerals crystallise into rock-hard coil scale that strangles water flow, degrades burner efficiency, and causes coil blowout. Scale Stop chelates minerals on the fly.
Essential preventative maintenance for all Alkota Hot Water & Steam equipment

Much of the UK sits on hard to very hard water chalk aquifers. When water is heated beyond 65°C inside high-pressure Schedule 80 coils, dissolved calcium and magnesium carbonates precipitate out into dense rock-hard limescale. This scale insulates the coil interior, causing severe hot spots, restricted flow, higher burner fuel consumption, and premature coil burnout. Scale Stop is a proprietary liquid conditioning additive that sequesters hard water minerals, keeping them in suspension through the burner loop.
Standard consumer detergents break down and evaporate when exposed to 80°C hot water. Alkota industrial chemistry is chemically engineered with heat-stable surfactants that accelerate saponification under high thermal exchange.
Combining Alkota hot-water Schedule 80 coil delivery with our verified chemical range allows operators to reduce chemical dosage by up to 60% while cutting wash time in half.
Prevents aggressive chemical exposure to high-pressure pump valves and seals.
Chelating agents bind calcium and magnesium to prevent internal heat exchanger furring.
Designed for wash bay oil-water interceptors to satisfy Environment Agency trade effluent rules.
UK CLP compliant safety data sheets and bilingual container labeling.
Alkota authorised regional dealers provide regular route delivery of 25-litre polycans, 205-litre barrels, and 1,000-litre IBCs directly to your depot or wash bay with automated dosing integration.
