Introduction

How does the Quooker Scale Control Plus work?

The Scale Control Plus reduces the hardness of the water in order to prevent limescale build-up

in the tank. This extends its lifespan and improves the taste of the water. The Scale Control Plus

consists of a lter head and a cartridge, which is inserted into the head. This cartridge softens the

water that ows through it by means of an ion exchanger. The cartridge must be replaced after

a certain period of time, which depends on the mains water hardness and how much Quooker

water is used. Replace the cartridge before it becomes completely saturated.

Installing the Quooker system for the rst time

Using the installation manual, rst install the Quooker tank and connect it to the tap. Then use the

manual to install the Scale Control Plus.

When the Scale Control is to be replaced by a Scale Control Plus

Please note: the Scale Control Plus should be installed before the inlet combination valve. It is

therefore important to follow the instructions as shown in this installation manual.

Lifespan of the cartridge

The Scale Control Plus cartridge needs to be replaced regularly. The replacement frequency

depends on how hard the water is and how much water is used. Timely replacement of the

cartridge prevents the deposition of limescale in the Quooker system. For Quooker systems

installed after October 2017, the included Scale Control Plus Meter can be installed. The Scale

Control Plus Meter provided sounds an alarm signal when the cartridge needs to be replaced.

Before mounting the meter, use the test kit provided to determine the total water hardness, as

described in Part A. After doing so, mount the Scale Control Plus Meter and connect it to the

Quooker tank, as described in Part E.

For Quooker systems installed before October 2017, it is not possible to use the Scale Control Plus

Meter supplied. The cartridge lifespan can be determined in a dierent way. Before installing the

Scale Control Plus, test the water hardness with the test kit provided. Part A of this guide features

detailed instructions on how to do this. With the help of this value, the service life of the cartridge

can then be determined on the basis of the hardness table supplied. See Part B.

AHardness testing

• Test your water hardness with the Total Hardness Test Kit, as described below, to determine

the expected cartridge lifespan.

• Ensure the Scale Control Plus is working optimally by comparing the water hardness of the

cold mains water to the hardness of the Quooker tank water. The second value should be

lower.

1. Filling test tube

Take the test tube out of its box. Take

a sample of water from the mains cold

water feed. Rinse out the test bottle with

this sample water then ll to the 5 ml mark.

2. Adding reagent

Slowly add the reagent drop by drop, all

the while swirling gently to mix the water.

Count the number of drops it takes to turn

the red colour of the solution to green.

3. Determining water hardness

One drop of the reagent is the equivalent

to 1.0°dH (degree of hardness) – For

example, if it takes 9 drops for the sample

to turn to green, this means your water has

a water hardness of 9°dH.

++…=

°dH

BHardness table (for systems before October 2017)

• The left side of the table shows the reduced water hardness, derived from the mains water

hardness. The right side of the table shows the expected lifespan of the cartridge, derived

from the mains water hardness and the type of Quooker tank used. For continuous optimum

performance replace the cartridge at the end of the lifespan.

• Enter the replacement date for the cartridge in the table below. Keeping this table

in a handy place will remind you to order a new cartridge on time.

• For Quooker systems installed after October 2017, the life of the cartridge is determined by

the Scale Control Plus Meter. This sounds an alarm signal when the cartridge needs to be

replaced. Part E describes how to install this meter.

Mounting the Scale Control Plus

• When mounting the bracket, make sure to leave enough space for the cartridge to be replaced.

• For PRO3, PRO7 or COMBI.

1. Mounting the bracket

Screw the bracket into the head of the

cartridge using the four short screws

provided.

2. Mounting the bracket

Screw the bracket onto the kitchen

cabinet wall using the two long screws

provided.

3. Removing the cap

Remove the blue cap from the top of the

cartridge.

4. Aligning the cartridge

In order to insert the cartridge into

the head of the Scale Control Plus,

the protruding parts on the side of the

cartridge need to be aligned with the

notches in the head. When doing so, keep

in mind that there are two grooves on one

side of the cartridge and only one on the

other side.
