1. Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Xiuganpo Magnetic Water Descaler, Model Xiuganpo907neywcfu-12. This device is designed to prevent scale buildup in your plumbing system and appliances without the use of salt or chemical additives, utilizing magnetic technology to improve water quality and prolong appliance lifespan.
Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use to ensure safe and efficient operation.
2. Safety Information
- Ensure all water supply lines are shut off before beginning installation.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection during installation.
- Do not attempt to modify the descaler unit. Unauthorized modifications may void the warranty and pose safety risks.
- The device operates within a water pressure range of 0.1 to 0.4 MPa and water temperature of 5 to 38 ℃. Operating outside these parameters may damage the unit or affect performance.
- Keep out of reach of children.
3. Product Overview
The Xiuganpo Magnetic Water Descaler is a compact, salt-free water treatment device constructed from durable 304 stainless steel. It features high-strength magnets that create a powerful magnetic field to alter the crystallization of calcium carbonate, preventing hard scale formation.
Key Features:
- Salt-Free Operation: No additives required, preventing erosion and safeguarding pipes and appliances.
- Magnetic Descaling Technology: Transforms hard calcium carbonate into harmless micro-crystals, reducing scale deposits.
- Universal Fit: Compatible with most plumbing systems and municipal water supplies (0.1-0.4 MPa pressure, 5-38 ℃ temperature).
- Durable Construction: Made with robust 304 stainless steel and neutral colorless polyethylene lining for physical filtration.
- Maintenance-Free: No filter replacements needed.

4. Setup and Installation
The Xiuganpo Magnetic Water Descaler is designed for easy installation. It can be installed on the main water line entering your home or directly before specific appliances like water heaters or dishwashers.
Installation Steps:
- Shut off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valve for your home and turn it off. Open a faucet to relieve pressure in the pipes.
- Choose Installation Location: Select a suitable location on your main water line or appliance supply line. Ensure there is enough space for the descaler unit (approximately 25 cm / 9.84 inches in length).
- Cut Pipe (if necessary): If installing on a rigid pipe, carefully cut a section of the pipe to accommodate the length of the descaler and its connectors. Ensure clean cuts.
- Prepare Connections: Apply thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape) to the male threads of the descaler and the pipe connectors.
- Install Descaler: Connect the descaler unit to the water line, ensuring the Flow Direction arrow on the unit matches the direction of water flow. Tighten connections securely but do not overtighten. Use the provided O-rings for a watertight seal.
- Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Check for any leaks at the connections. If leaks occur, tighten the connections slightly.
- Flush System: Open a few faucets in your home to flush out any air from the pipes.

5. Operation
Once installed, the Xiuganpo Magnetic Water Descaler operates continuously without any user intervention. As water flows through the unit, the powerful magnetic field interacts with the minerals in the water, particularly calcium carbonate. This interaction changes the crystalline structure of these minerals from hard, adhesive calcite to soft, non-adhering aragonite (referred to as "soft artstone" in product diagrams).
This process prevents the minerals from forming hard scale deposits on surfaces inside pipes, water heaters, dishwashers, and other appliances. Over time, you may notice a reduction in existing scale and an improvement in the efficiency and lifespan of your water-using appliances.

6. Maintenance
One of the primary benefits of the Xiuganpo Magnetic Water Descaler is its minimal maintenance requirement. The unit does not contain filters that need regular replacement or cleaning.
Periodic Checks:
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the exterior of the descaler unit and its connections for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or physical damage.
- Connection Integrity: Ensure all connections remain tight. If a leak is detected, shut off the water supply and gently tighten the affected connection.
- Performance Observation: While the descaler works silently, observe your appliances and plumbing for continued reduction in scale buildup.
No internal cleaning or component replacement is typically required for this magnetic descaler.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your magnetic water descaler.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leak at Connections | Loose connections or improperly applied thread sealant. | Shut off water supply. Gently tighten connections. If leak persists, reapply thread sealant (PTFE tape) and re-tighten. Ensure O-rings are correctly seated. |
| No Apparent Reduction in Scale |
|
|
| Reduced Water Pressure | Obstruction in the unit or plumbing. | Ensure the unit is installed correctly and not causing a blockage. Check other parts of your plumbing system for issues. The descaler itself is designed for minimal flow restriction. |
