Important Safety Instructions
- Read all instructions before operating the device.
- Do not expose the unit to water or excessive moisture.
- Ensure the power supply matches the unit's requirements.
- Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Install in a dry, protected area, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Setup & Installation
The Briidea Water Descaler is designed for straightforward installation. No plumbing modifications or special tools are required.
- Choose Installation Location: Select a location on your main water supply line where the unit can be easily mounted and has access to a power outlet. Ensure there is enough straight pipe section for coil wrapping.
- Mount the Unit: Securely mount the main descaler unit to a wall or stable surface near the chosen pipe section using appropriate fasteners.
- Wrap the Coils: Identify the red and black output cables. Wrap the red coil OVER the pipe and the black coil UNDER the pipe, as illustrated in the diagram below. Ensure the coils are tightly wrapped around the pipe for optimal contact. The direction of water flow should be considered for proper coil orientation.
- Connect to Power: Plug the power adapter into the descaler unit and then into a standard electrical outlet. The indicator lights on the unit will illuminate, indicating it is powered on and operating.

Operation
Once installed and powered on, the Briidea Water Descaler operates continuously. It uses electromagnetic fields to alter the physical properties of hard water minerals, preventing them from forming hard scale deposits. Over time, existing scale deposits will also begin to dissolve.
- The unit works silently in the background.
- Results may vary depending on water hardness and usage, with noticeable improvements typically seen within weeks to a few months.
- You may observe increased soap lathering, softer skin and hair, and reduced spotting on dishes and fixtures.

Maintenance and Care
The Briidea Water Descaler is designed to be maintenance-free. There are no filters to change or salt to add.
- Periodically check the unit and coil wraps to ensure they remain securely in place.
- Wipe the unit with a dry cloth if it becomes dusty. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Ensure the power cord is not damaged or pinched.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit not powering on | No power to outlet; loose connection; faulty power adapter. | Check outlet with another device; ensure all connections are secure; contact customer support if power adapter is suspected faulty. |
| No noticeable change in water quality | Insufficient time for results; improper coil installation; extremely high water hardness. | Allow more time (up to several months for full effect); re-check coil wrapping as per instructions; ensure coils are tightly wrapped. |
| Indicator lights off | Unit not receiving power. | Refer to "Unit not powering on" solutions. |
