Monarch Water SCT, SC1, SC2, SC3, SLC Scaleout Installer & User Guide
The Monarch Water Scaleout is a water treatment device that removes scale from your plumbing system. It uses a process of exchanging calcium ions into calcium crystals, which are then removed from the water. The Scaleout will help to prevent the build-up of scale in your pipes, appliances and fixtures, and can help to extend the life of your appliances.

Model No. Y MONARCH WATER Installer 8: User Guide Effective May 2015 For Monarch Scaleout “Suppliers to H.M. the Queens Estate at Sandringham” Monarch Water Ltd. Halesworth Road Bramfield IP19 9HP T 01986 784759 F 01986 784769 [email protected] www.monarchwater.co.uk HINTS AND TIPS ABOUT YOUR NEW SCALEOUT | 9 The Scaleout exchanges calcium ions into calcium crystals. Crystals will adhere themselves to the Post Filters internal cartridge, which is to be changed annually (or before in very hard water areas). However some will pass through as this is part of the descaling process. These crystals, a by-product of Scaleouts operation; can in areas with high levels of water hardness, show themselves after water has evaporated. We recommend they are simply wiped away before they are allowed to accumulate. Helping your kettle last longer: Your kettle will continue to have an amount of scale, but the level can be kept to a minimum by running the tap for 5-10 seconds prior to filling. Additionally, it is recommended to empty the kettle of any water left over from the previous use. When emptying, you may notice scale flakes and possibly ‘milky’ water too. This is normal and proof that the Scaleout is working at optimum performance. Flakes are caused by taking the water to boiling point and will not happen elsewhere throughout your system. Toilets, Showers, Shower cubicle/screen, Taps etc: Because there is no direct flow across these surfaces, other than water splashing, the old scale may need to be removed with a scale remover. Any new accumulation will deposit as a soft scale and can be removed. For best results, wipe away water before being allowed to evaporate. Existing scale—Scaleout water will immediately begin to de-scale your pipes and appliances. Your hot water cylinder will take longer to de-scale than your pipe work; in some cases 12-18 months; therefore you may notice different levels of Scaleout water for some time whilst the system is de-scaling. This is particularly noticeable in your bath and shower. Dishwashers—On most installations the dishwasher is to be connected to the Scaleout water. We recommend that you continue to add a small amount of salt to the appliance as before, as this helps the salt holder in the appliance stay clean. We do not however recommend that crystal glass; solid silver or silver plated items are washed in your dishwasher as etching may occur. Less dishwasher liquid may be required and in certain cases this will also apply to rinse aid. For best results use a natural soap detergent/cleaning agent. On dishwashers connected to untreated water, you should continue to put salt into the dishwashers own softener. It will help if your dishwasher could be de-scaled prior to the installation of the Scaleout. This would also apply to your shower cubicle too. For best results use a phosphate free dish washing detergent. Scaleout water will become available throughout your system in varying time spans. Conventional systems (tanks in your roof) will take anything from 4-10 days, whilst mains fed Pressurised Systems will give treated water within 2-3 days. Scaleout water will have no adverse effect in your heating system. In every case a corrosion inhibitor such as Sentinel X100 must be used. Bath and shower surfaces will become smoother—be careful, in particular the young and infirm —why not buy a bath mat? If possible look to use a pure soap powder as this will help give optimum results. 10 Outside Tap—It is recommended to leave your outside tap on mains water. Additionally, in the wintertime we recommend that this tap is isolated via an internal valve to prevent freezing. 11 The Scaleout model SCT has an internal cartridge that is to be changed annually. All other models in this range the media should be changed after 3 years. MONARCH SCALEOUT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Thank you for choosing our SCALEOUT. Please read the following carefully, which if followed correctly, should ensure the installation is trouble free. Before you install the unit, please ensure you have the correct model with regard to demand placed upon unit and also the water hardness. Ensure + models are used on all water hardness over 450ppm. Monarch has a nationwide database on all water hardness's for your assistance A. PLANNING THE INSTALLATION * Always observe the water byelaws. Ensure there is only one rising main. Make sure you have allowed space for access to the unit for any possible maintenance in the future. * Check the water pressure and locate the rising main. Be aware of condensation occurring in warm environments. If condensation occurs, we recommend the unit is sited in a small tray that allows the water to evaporate. * Unit must be kept upright. . SITING THE SCALEOUT —Fig 1 Where possible, this should be close to the rising main. T' off for an untreated mains supply for the outside tap. Ensure that the unit is not subject to below 4 or above 50C. If siting the unit within a kitchen cupboard, loft etc. Ensure that the base/ floor is adequately supported. + [Ifthe unit is being installed in your loft, 1st, 2nd floor etc, it is recommended to house the unit within a plastic tank and insulate well. * The overflow on the plastic tank should be a minimum of %"in size. Failure to install the unit in a suitable tank will void the Guarantee. C. NON-RETURN VALVE In domestic applications i.e. house, bungalow, apartment, flat etc, a single check valve should be fitted. All other applications require a double check valve. D. DRINKING WATER FACILITY The unit produces drinking water, so unlike a salt based softener, no dedicated tap is required. E. MATERIAL CHECK LIST * The unit includes an installation kit as relevant to the model ordered. * For 28mm supplies a full upgrade for the unit is available - details on request. В WATER PRESSURE TEST It is IMPORTANT that a pressure check is carried out. * Low and high pressure can result in either damage to, or failure of the unit. * |f daytime static water pressure®* exceeds 3.5 bar (50psi) a 5 bar pressure limiter should be fitted. *50psi daytime pressure can reach nearly 100psi at night! * Minimum dynamic pressure must exceed 1.5 bar. * If in any doubt please call us on 01986 784 759 OPTION 1 WITH POST FILTER CONNECTED REMOTE TO SCALEOUT Please note 5C1 does not include a post Tilo G.

PLEASE NOTE I Spare fittings and hoses are included with your unit that may not be needed + 'O’rings have been greased at Monarch, but please check for debris that may affect the seal. For connection of the Post Filter directly to the Scaleout outlet male adaptor, remove ‘0’ ring from the now unused nipple and apply over the 3/4" male thread up to the shoulder on the adaptor. This will then seal in the recess of the inlet of the Post Filter. Tighten to seal. 6 I. TEST INSTALLATION FOR LEAKS Close Inlet and Outlet valves to the unit and open Bypass valve. Open mains stopcock and flush the new pipe work for a minimum of 5 minutes, This can be done using any mains water tap inside the property i.e. utility room, kitchen cold tap or wash hand basin in a bathroom. Close Bypass valve, then open Inlet and Outlet valves slowly. Allow water to run slowly until all air is purged from the unit, then close tap. Allow unit to rest for 15 minutes before future use. Check for leaks. GOING ON HOLIDAY? * Fig 5 shows the valves in the Service position (Bypass is closed and Inlet & Outlet are open). * We highly recommend you bypass your unit when going away on holiday. * Simply turn Inlet, Outlet and Bypass valves Va turn to put valves into Bypass positions. * Upon your return, move valves back to the Service position (as Fig 5 below), FIG 5 E E Î Loge Outlet Valve TI (open) Bypass Valve (shut) Non-Return Inlet Valve Valve (open) Supply to outside tap a + Pressure Limiting Valve “e (if required) STOP TAP ON INCOMING MAIN Installation Conditions Effective February 2013 SC1 is fully covered by a 12 month parts and labour guarantee with the cartridge covered by a retrospective 12 month warranty.
