Scale management is recommended on DDC Dolphin Ltd macerators in exceptionally hard water<br />

areas where scale is known to cause issues cold water system. Approximately 70% of the water<br />

used throughout the world is naturally hard, meaning it contains a high mineral content, including<br />

calcium as well as various other salts. Calcium deposit build up can have detrimental effect on<br />

pipes, valves, spray heads and other devices within the machine. Please note components<br />

which fail as a result of scale deposits are not covered under warranty.<br />
