Polyphosphate dispenser to avoid limescale damage in the boiler

A large part of the breakages and malfunctions of these systems is caused by limescale, which contributes to their wear and significantly reduces heat exchange.
Installing a polyphosphate dispenser is an extremely effective solution because it is able to limit the formation of limescale in the system and in the devices connected to it, while at the same time fighting corrosion and progressively restoring previously damaged systems.
Furthermore, the polyphosphate dispenser allows to maintain the original heat exchange performance of the heat generator over time.
How a polyphosphate dispenser works
The water circulating in residential pipes contains various diluted materials, such as calcite, calcium carbonate and magnesium: the content of these elements determines the hardness of the water which is greater the greater the concentration of magnesium and calcium.
Particularly high hardness water can seriously compromise the operation of the heating system, taps, sanitary ware and all other elements through which the water must necessarily pass.
The polyphosphate dispenser therefore becomes indispensable for the maintenance of the system due to its anti-limescale and anti-corrosion function: it contains sodium and potassium polyphosphates, inorganic compounds that bind to calcium and magnesium ions forming a compound that is not able to adhere to the pipe surfaces.
One of the best-selling items is the BWT Piccomat 36 polyphosphate dispenser, perfect for protecting new plants or plants to be restored and characterized by a dosage proportional to the flow of water to be treated. This polyphosphate dispenser is able to dose even at small flow rates and has a great autonomy as well as being very easy to use even when it is necessary to change the refill.
The crystals used in the dispensers are also food polyphosphates suitable for drinking water that meet the purity requirements according to the EN 1208: 2005 standard and therefore guarantee the complete potability of the water from the tap.
Is the polyphosphate dispenser mandatory?
Yes, in the case of boiler replacement or installation of a new system, the installation of a polyphosphate dispenser is mandatory.
The Ministerial Decree of 26 June 2015 introduced the obligation of treatment with a polyphosphate dispenser for each type of plant as follows:
"In relation to the quality of the water used in thermal systems for winter air conditioning, with or without the production of domestic hot water, without prejudice to the application of the technical standard UNI 8065, a chemical conditioning treatment is always mandatory".
