What is WaterAtBest and what will it do for me?

The principle of magnetic water treatment is not new. The electronic device treats the water by inducing magnetic and electric fields with a continuous changing frequency. This forces the dissolved minerals such as Calcium and Magnesium to crystallize in the water before the ions settle (hard scale) at walls of piping, bathroom or heating elements of dishwasher and washing machine. This action stops any further build up of hard scale by preventing the settlement of dissolved mineral ions on whatever surface. The capability of the water to dissolve minerals will also be increased and this is the reason why hard scale layers will besoftened, will slowly enter into the water stream, and will disappear down the drain.

This means that you may have slightly more problems with scaling after the installation until all old hard scale layers have disappeared, which will take 30 to 90 days depending on how much preexisting scale you had. If you have clean piping and live in a new house you will only see the beneficial effects.

How is scale eliminated when neither the WaterAtBest system nor the coils are in contact with the water?

FUNCTION: WaterAtBest Water Treatment Systems will dissolve build-up of calcium deposits in your water lines and appliances. Depending on the severity of deposits, the time required to clean pipes, appliances, hot water tanks etc., will vary. It could take from a few days to several months. Deposits being flushed out of your water lines and appliances is proof that the units are working. The WaterAtBest Systems works by producing an electronically applied field generated by a coil around the pipe. The fluids (usually water based) come under the influence of this field such that the mineral ions are forced to precipitate. (Controlled precipitation). These precipitates (crystals) flow down the drain with the liquid flow. The capacitive as the inductive technique work with frequencies of 1800-16100Hz, with 10Hz phase displacement. Both techniques cause a physical change of the lime molecules, thus the lime loses the ability to adhere as limestone in the pipes, at immersionheaters, heat exchangers, on tiles, armatures etc.. The lime remains in the state of suspension and is rinsed out with the water. The changed structure of the lime crystals remain steady also in warm water, at temperatures up to 97 degrees Celsius, the lime remains in suspension and cannot adhere. The degradation of existing lime crusts in water pipes / solar and heat exchangers, is a procedure, which happens.

Do WaterAtBest systems produce a strong magnetic field?

No. The magnetic field strength is extremely low. Lower than the magnetic field of our earth.

How can I tell if it’s working?

In around four to six weeks, if not right away depending on the level of pre-existing scale build-up in your plumbing system, you should notice:
• The softening of scale around the basins
• Scale flaking away from the kettle element and shower rose - Water often feels silkier
• Water feeling hotter, improved performance of washing machines and dishwashers
• The ability to reduce the amount of soap, shampoo, detergents and cleaners
• Easier cleaning of surfaces, especially baths, basins and sinks

Does it affect the drinking water?

No. Water remains chemically unchanged, retaining the beneficial minerals and tastes the same so you do not need a separate drinking tap.

Where does the scale that is removed go?

As the scale does not stick to pipe work and appliances it all goes down the drain. This will not block up your drain as the crystals are microscopic in size.

What do I check once I have the WaterAtBest system installed?

Ensure that the "Power adapter is pluged in, and the illuminated GREEN "Signal" light-indicator is flashing.

How much does it cost to run?

Operation cost $6 electricity annually. NO Maintenance required

What pipe material is suitable?

The unit can be fitted on copper, plastic or steel pipes.

How much pipe is needed for installation?

To install the WaterAtBest unit you require at least 2 feet of pipe. This can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal pipe.

Can I install the unit?

As no plumbing is involved most customers fit the unit themselves and it should take no more than 45 minutes, or you can use a local handy man or electrician.

Do it yourself installation is quick and simple - and does not require a plumber or the cutting of pipes.
1) Locate the pipe where your water supply first enters your building.
2) Wrap the 3 signal cables around the pipe.
3) Connect the signal cable3 to the WaerAtBest unit and plug into 110 Volt outlet. (See installation guide)
Easy installation also means that, should you move the WaterAtBest unit is simple to disconnect and to take with you.
