What it is
The Ideal 176016 is a 15mm electrolytic inline scale inhibitor manufactured by Ideal for use on Ideal Commercial appliances. It sits in the water supply path and uses an electrolytic action to limit the formation of limescale, which would otherwise collect in the appliance's waterways and heat exchanger. Keeping scale under control protects flow rates, heat transfer and the working life of the components downstream.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Visible scale deposits or crusting around the inhibitor body or its connections
- Reduced hot water flow or unstable outlet temperature
- Repeated scale-related faults or restricted flow through the appliance waterways
- Water weeping from the inhibitor body or its joints
- Falling appliance performance in a hard water area despite correct servicing
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance model and serial number against the compatibility list before ordering
- Check the existing inhibitor's connection size and the direction of flow through the pipework
- Cross-reference the alternative number 4400000 when checking against older documentation
