Is it right that the media in the glass bowl ends up as a lump at the bottom?
I had assumed that it would slowly erode away? Please could you tell me if the device is behaving as expected?

Question by: Rory Thersby on 22 Aug 2021, 09:38

the media should slowly dissolve. Please forward pictures of installation to info@osmiowater.co.uk and we can asses if it work as it should.

Does it stop calcium build up in a kettle

Question by: Chas Meads on 20 Feb 2022, 13:26

No it doesn't. The system deals with temporary hardness, and effectiveness of polyphosphate declines when temperature reaches 70C.
You would need dedicated drinking water system to prevent limescale buildups in kettle. We would need to know your water hardness and number of occupants to recommend the right system for you.

Will this reduce the impact of limescale on my skin and hair?

Question by: Heather E on 27 Mar 2022, 17:43

It could be because the limescale is losing the properties of bonding which block the pores of your skin, but don't forget this is a temporary hardness system (for where water does not dry) whereas a salt softener will remove the minerals permanently from the water (replacing with sodium carbonate). If you are looking to to to best for your skin and har here is what you would use: Osmio Vitafresh Vitamin C Shower Filter, Point of Entry: Osmio Pro III Ultimate 3 stage filter system (for chemicals and metals), then any type of softener (salt or non salt if your total hardness CaCO3 is less than 300ppm). Then you would use a good RO system like the Osmio Zero in the kitchen and use the Osmio Duo Hydrogen Water bottle, as it is hydrogen we produce in the gut which makes our metabolic water, hydrating and moisturising us from the inside out.

How effective is it for the use through an electric shower?

Question by: Andrew Durrant on 17 Aug 2022, 09:09

Usually the system is installed at the point of entry so all water is treated. It can be installed to supply a single appliance, and will prevent scale build inside the appliance and cleaning of shower screen will become easier (water will leave chalky water marks when it dried.

Does the Osmio minisost effect the taste of the water? In other words do you have to bypass the kitchen cold tap from the mini soft?

Question by: Steve H on 7 Jan 2023, 07:59

I haven't had any customers complain about the taste of the water but taste is a very personal thing. The polyphosphate used in the system is food grade so you don't have to bypass the kitchen cold tap.

Do the refill cartridges have an expiry date, if so how long can they be stored?

Question by: Jeff on 21 Jan 2023, 08:45

The refill cartridges do not have an expiry date so you can store them for as long as you want to as long as the area they are being stored in is not too hot or cold as the media cannot be exposed to extremes of temperature as it will crystalise.

Answer by: Sharon Little (Admin) on 23 Jan 2023, 10:50

My water is very hard and creates high levels of lime scale, will this reduce the water hardness?
Does the life of the filter deteriate more quickly the harder the water or does it purely go on the water usage?
Also does this have to be installed at point of entry or can it be used under my kitchen sink?

Thanks

Question by: Laura on 21 Jan 2023, 14:45

The system is a point of entry system. Media is depleted based on volume of water used, based on average water usage household of 2 would have running cost of £42.00 per year (based on household using 300L per day)
The system is effective up to 300ppm total hardness. If unsure - please email installation postcode to info@osmiowater.co.uk and we will be able to assist.
This will not eliminate scale from the kettle.

Would this be effective for a hot tub?

Question by: Mark Itzcovitz on 5 Feb 2023, 21:19

It would help in a situation for corrosion generally but not limescale build up, only temporary hardness. For an effective solution to stop build up of limescale, permanent hardness, a salt softener would be better.

In addition, it is suggested to keep phosphate levels low in order to keep good maintenance of a hot tub. You can find more information on this link - https://www.poolspamarketing.com/trade/the-importance-of-testing-and-removing-phosphates/
