Water-King is an electronic water conditioner that inhibits scale formation in hot and cold water services, removes existing scale deposits and is the only product of its kind proven by independent laboratory tests to partially soften hot water (click here to see the test). It requires no plumbing and has a 25 year maintenance free design life. It really is a ‘fit and forget’ alternative to conventional salt softeners!

While the Water-King WK1 is suitable for most applications, our Water-King WK1-E is a more powerful model specifically designed to protect high output electric water heaters with an output above 5kW.

Where our Water-King WK1 is suitable for most applications, the Water-King WK1-E is a more powerful model designed specifically for the protection of high output electric water heaters. The recent shift to renewable energy has seen a growing trend in electric water heaters in the UK, but some of the design features that make these heaters work so efficiently also make them particularly prone to limescale formation, and require additional protection. The Water-King WK1-E is suitable for electric water heaters with an output above 5kW, up to a maximum of 12kW.

Unvented hot water systems

When a combi boiler is used, and there is no hot water cylinder, a single Water-King unit fitted on the rising main will provide the whole house with protection. If only the boiler needs protection from scale, locate the Water-King within 2 metres of it. This also applies to a hot water cylinder under mains pressure. Only the cold supply pipe should be treated.

Vented Hot Water Systems with Cold Water Storage Tank
Treated water delivered to a cold water storage tank will lose the effect of the treatment. Depending on water quality, this can happen very quickly. For this reason water is best treated after a storage tank. For best results we recommend two water-King units are fitted; one on the main inlet to the house (rising main) and one on the cold pipe that runs from the cold storage tank into the bottom of the hot cylinder (cold down service). If you decide to fit only a single unit, then you will get best value from it by fitting it on the cold down service. The signal is transmitted through the water and will treat all the water in the storage tank above it. If you have copper pipes that are cross bonded to the rising main, the taps fed from it should be adequately treated as well.

Lifescience Products Ltd have been providing expert technical advice and market leading water treatment products for over 20 years.

Their Water-King electronic water softener is widely specified and installed by some of the UKs largest consultants and contractors on a range of projects from world famous stadia to landmark developments, like London’s iconic ‘Gherkin’ Building.
You too can benefit from this unique technology by ordering the easy to install Water-King WK1, a domestic version of the product designed specifically for the home-owner.

Lifecycle Costs

The running costs are negligible, no more than £10.00 per annum for domestic models. The design life is in excess of 25 years with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. Water-King comes with a no quibble 100-day money-back satisfaction guarantee.
