One for the Chemists - water softening solution.
awemawson:
But Mark this unit has nothing like that - just the mystery liquid injected into the water stream.
I just remembered that the entire water system in our holiday cottages has a ' Combimate' softening system where all the water passes though a chamber containing spheres of 'Combiphos' which gradually dissolve and have to be replaced - looking at my bottle of spare spheres lead me to the manufacturers web site:
http://www.combimate.co.uk/what-is-combiphos.html
So here is another total loss (ie cannot be regenerated) water softening system (*) that is perhaps in some way similar to the Karcher one :scratch:
(* strictly speaking it's NOT softening the water but preventing the calcium being deposited )
bertie_bassett:
we have a total loss calgon dosing system at one of our treatment works which might be similar?
the 'calgon' comes in 25kg bags in a granular form and is dissolved in a tank then dosed directly into the drinking water to soften it and help keep the filters clean.
not sure what the chemical composition is but it cant be anything too fancy as its going in the drinking water
awemawson:
Ho ho Bertie - send me a sack :clap:
I found this interesting paper on the Southern Water web site:
bertie_bassett:
ill see what i can do ;) i had asumed it was a salt based system but will have to get hold of the msds to check

Andrew,
Happy New Year!
Try a search as National Stock No, rather than NATO and you get this:

It used to be my life's bane trying to equate across the pond.
