Introduction

How the Quooker Scale Control works
The Scale Control reduces the hardness of the water, preventing limescale from
building up in the tank. The Scale Control considerably lengthens the lifespan of
your Quooker and improves the taste of Quooker water. The Scale Control
consists of a cartridge within a pressure resistant container. As water flows
through the cartridge, the hardness is reduced by an ion-exchange resin.
The hardness reducing level can be adjusted with the bypass dial, on top of the
Scale Control head. This is called the Scale Control setting.
The cartridge must be replaced after a certain period. This period depends on
the Scale Control setting, consumption of Quooker water and the water
hardness. For continuous optimum performance replace the cartridge at the end
of the lifespan.

Testing the water hardness

Before installing the Scale Control, test the water hardness with the test kit
provided. Then use the enclosed hardness table to determine the desired Scale
Control setting. Part A of this guide features detailed instructions on how to do
this. Once you have adjusted the Scale Control setting, you are ready to begin
the installation.
If no Quooker has previously been installed
To install the Scale Control, first follow part A through C of the Quooker tank
installation guide. Proceed with steps 2 and 3 of part B1, B2 or B3 (corresponding
to the type of Quooker tank) of this guide. Finally, complete part D and E of the
Quooker tank installation guide.
If a Quooker is already installed
To install the Scale Control, follow part B1, B2 or B3 (corresponding to the type
of Quooker tank) of this guide.
