What are The Main Differences Between the Monarch Scaleout Advance and a Typical Water Softener?

Comparing the Scaleout Advance with a Monarch water softener (e.g. the class-leading Monarch Midi).

If all ranges of Monarch Water Softeners were awarded a star rating for their performances, a Monarch salt based softener would enjoy a 5 star rating, as they produce every possible soft water benefit.

However, Monarch recognises that there is a sector of the public who are simply looking for a 4 star product that gives 24/7 protection against the damage caused by hard water scale. The Scaleout Advance range is perfect for those who are seeking an alternative and permanent solution to hard water problems outside of a conventional salt-based water softener alongside chlorine free water.

What makes the Monarch Scaleout Advance different?

Other products such as magnets, electrolytics, wrap-arounds, sacrificial anodes, multi-core solutions, etc. (the list is almost endless), can only offer a temporary suspension of scale formation. In many cases the effects these products bring last only a couple of hours, therefore any stored water such as that within a tank, coil, etc. will automatically revert back to scale causing, harmful water overnight.

Monarch’s Scaleout Advance gives a permanent suspension of scale creation. Even if you go on holiday or indeed travelling for 6 months, Scaleout water will not revert back to its original state, giving you complete peace of mind.

The Scaleout Advance also targets existing scale and, over time, will return a boiler and appliances to maximum efficiency and lower running costs from the moment it’s installed.

What are the Benefits of the Monarch Advance

1) Lower Costs

The average hard water home can spend between £600 and £650 a year to overcome the effects of hard water. The harder the water, the lower the life expectancy of all appliances. 
Just one example is a boilers heat exchanger lasting only 20% of its full life expectancy because of hard water, and with its replacement cost between £120 and £180 (plus your boiler engineer’s time), it is an unwanted cost, plus the inconvenience of no hot water for a few days!

A Monarch Scaleout will, over time, reduce your existing scale to a negligible level, returning your boiler and appliances to maximum efficiency and lower running costs. Additionally, unnecessary scale related costs for the repair and maintenance of appliances can be prevented. Remember, scale on your boilers heat exchanger needs heating first, before your hot water is created. Just 2mm of scale on your heat exchanger will increase your hot water bills by 12%. 3mm and it rises to nearly 25%!
With the current energy crisis, there has never been a more opportune moment to protect against high energy bills caused by hard water. 

2) Protected Appliances

Times when your washing machine / dishwashers’ performance is affected by hard water lie in the past. In future, with Scaleout water, your plates, bowls, etc. will no longer have unsightly hard scale residue.

3) The Perfect Flavour Carrier

A Monarch Scaleout gives you the ideal water for home and industry, and is perfectly suited for the production of hot and cold drinks too.

Valuable minerals including magnesium (a health giving mineral and powerful flavour carrier) are retained in the water, to give you the perfect cuppa at any time of day. And with chorine and all other unpleasant chemicals removed, every drinking water tap will give high quality filtered water 24/7.

4) Peace of Mind

You can have improved Peace of Mind knowing that with the Monarch Scaleout you have …

Lower heating bills
Lower household bills
An efficient boiler
Protected appliances
Drinking water rich in vital minerals, and free from chlorine and other chemicals that affect the taste

5) Chlorine removal and its benefits to skin
Nobody should underestimate the benefits of chlorine in society, but once it enters your home water system, the negatives far outweigh the benefits, especially the effects of chlorine on the body. Besides the obvious taste issues, chlorine can damage hair but more importantly the skin and cause premature signs of aging. Even small amounts of chlorine can be harmful over time. When you shower, heat opens your pores and allows the chlorine to seep into your skin. Chlorine strips the skin of its natural oils and causes it to dry and crack, which can lead to soreness and even wrinkles.
Studies have demonstrated that free residual chlorine may play a role in the development or worsening of atopic dermatitis (the most common form of eczema). For example, this study found that the water-holding capacity of the upper layer of the skin in patients with eczema was more sensitive to free residual chlorine than patients without eczema:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12692355/ 

Irritant contact dermatitis can also occur when the skin comes into direct contact with chlorine. Some people are more sensitive to this chemical than others, but characteristic symptoms may include a dry, itchy rash: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contact-dermatitis/causes/
