Centaur Anti Scale Device....£19.99

Although it looks similar to those devices you see in domestic cold water systems it uses a different and unique principle and has been cleverly adapted for use with coffee machines. Simply place your pump inlet tube through the spiral, uses one 9V battery not supplied).

The Centaur™ uses microprocessor technology to electronically generate inaudible wave-forms which help keep calcium carbonate particles (scale) dissolved or suspended in water. The electric field generated is always being applied to the water, while a magnetic field relies on the movement of water to produce the electric potential changes. Low frequency waveforms are emitted through two coiled wires attached to the outside of the pump inlet pipe. As a result of these waveforms, the two coils are constantly inducing a voltage into the water in the area of the Centaur™. When one coil induces a positive voltage the other coil induces a counteracting negative voltage. This electric field causes the calcium or magnesium to remain in solution or suspension and the treated water continues to dissolve scale as it flows downstream. Over time, the Centaur™ treated water helps solve hard water problems in the entire espresso machine. The Centaur™ is the state-of-the-art in electronic water conditioning. The Centaur™ microprocessor-controlled technology continually varies its frequency, affecting the widest range of mineral concentrations and other variables that cause “hard water” problems.

The unit is very compact measuring only W 50mm x D 20 mm x H 100mm and can be located up to 70 cm from the coils. The unit is resistant to heat up to 150c and could be located inside the machine with the battery pack located conveniently for those battery changes. One 9V battery gives approximately 3 months normal usage, as significant current is only drawn when water passes beneath the coils, at other times the unit is in a “watch” mode!
