Scale Stop Coil Protector
UK Approved // GB CLP Validated
Liquid Additive
// TECHNICAL PROFILE & FORMULATION SCIENCE

Chemical Purpose & Action

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.

Key Technical Advantages:
Preserves 7-Year Alkota coil warranty in designated hard water counties
Maintains 90%+ thermal heat-transfer efficiency from burner to water stream
Prevents expensive machine downtime and premature burner failure
Neutral pH formula is non-corrosive to pumps, brass valves, and high-pressure hoses
