We are about to have a device fitted to our water called a CombiMate to prevent limescale as our water is hard 13kH 18gH. This uses a chemical they call Siliphos.
Looking into this I've found that Siliphos is Phosphorus pentoxide and that this reacts with the water to produce Phosphoric acid which I beleive is the same as pH down buffer solutions. Unfortunately I have no idea how much phosphate this will add, but once it's running I have a phosphate test kit so I should be able to get a rough idea.
I'm hoping that all this means is I dose less phosphates but wondered if anyone had come across this before or can see any problems with using my tap water after this has been installed?
