General NotesPowermag is a WRAS approved electromagnetic physical water conditioner that uses the principles of magnetism to remove hard crystalline scale within hot and cold water services. The Powermag sets up a specific magnetic field which has an effect on the hardness salts within the water. This helps to inhibit and remove existing formations of scale, providing an environmentally friendly method of scale treatment without the use of chemicals. (WRAS approval number 0803083).

The Powermag p alters the molecular structure of scale forming particles allowing them to pass through the pipe system without leaving deposits of scale within the system. The Powermag physical water conditioner doesn't introduce sodium into the water, therefore the water remains potable.

The Powermag does not require a separate drain. It can be installed direct in-line without the aid of a bypass. There are no moving parts which means the unit can operate with a limited amount of servicing.

hysical water conditioner

Physically conditioned water will tend to revert back to its untreated state over time; we recommend the sooner the water is used after treatment, the more effective the physical water conditioner will be. In addition consideration should be given where water turbulence may be induced in the water flow as this may also reduce the effectiveness of the physical water conditioner. Please refer to the installation section of this manual in order to site the unit in an optimum position and ensure effective treatment of incoming water.

InstallationThe unit should be installed directly in-line on any of the following materials; copper, PVC, or galvanized pipework.

To ensure that the unit is adequately supported and does not place excessive strain on the existing pipework, we recommend using additional support brackets (not supplied) on the inlet and outlet pipework. We recommend that in order to avoid damage to the magnetic coil it is installed in a horizontal orientation wherever possible. It may also be necessary to install elbows and additional pipework, however we recommend keeping this to a minimum.

The unit is manufactured from low carbon steel tubing and is protected from corrosion by a WRAS approved surface coating.

We also recommend the use of isolating valves before and after the unit. This will facilitate any service or maintenance work that may be required.

Recommended InstallationsPowermag units are best installed in one of the following positions:

! Gravity downfeed from a central water tank *

! After a booster pump

! Directly on the cold mains supply, where all outlets are mains fed

*NB: Great care must be taken when installing the Powermag vertically as this may result in damage to the magnetic coil.

The Powermag control box should be connected to a suitable fused switched spur. Please refer to the product specification data to ensure you have a suitable spur available.

The spur must incorporate an isolation switch to enable maintenance or repair of the system. The isolation switch must be easily accessible to the user.

In no circumstance will you be required to connect the body of the unit (coil) to the mains power supply. Always connect the main body (coil) to the control panel.
