Installation instructions and FAQ
Installation is done by a professional pipe fitting business or contractor in your area. Installation instructions are supplied with the device. Additional guidance is available if necessary.
Frequently asked questions
Water supply systems
The Bauer process removes limescale deposits that have accumulated in pipes, minimises corrosion, reduces pipe leaks, and prolongs the service life of a water supply system. Clean pipes supply water of higher quality.
The limescale deposits are gradually washed down the drain during normal water use.
Corrosion and scaling do not improve the durability of pipes. Impurities also accumulate in limescale. These may accelerate corrosion and result in pipe leaks. The Bauer process removes such deposits gradually.
Limescale deposits dissolve slowly, mixing with the flow of fresh water in very small quantities. They are not harmful to health, consisting mainly of natural minerals dissolved in the water.
The taste of water is affected by limescale and dissolved metals from pipes. The quality of water improves and the flavour remains good and fresh when limescale deposits are removed, when they can no longer form, and when metal corrosion is prevented.
These devices are installed in new properties at the construction stage, and in new pipes when renovating old water systems.
Heating and cooling systems
The Bauer process dissolves limescale deposits into tiny particles that do not block the valves. Any sediment arising in a closed system collects in a specially installed filter.
Clean water and clean heat transfer surfaces ensure optimal heat transfer performance. Even a very thin layer of limescale greatly reduces heat transfer utility function, requiring more energy to transfer heat through the insulating layer. Removing biofilm and bacteria significantly improves cooling performance in cooling systems.
The Bauer system is suitable for metal and plastic pipe systems used in heating and cooling systems. It is suitable for initial installation and retrofitting, modern and traditional pipe systems, and all pipe materials.
The Bauer assembly is plumbed into the heating system, usually in a plant room or building services facility. The property may be connected to a district heating network, or to electric heating, an oil or wood pellet boiler, a heat pump, or some other source of heating.
No special skills are required to change the filter cartridge. A building superintendent or ordinary resident may change the cartridge by following clear instructions provided with the device, and our separate guidance where necessary.
