What it is
The Ideal 176017 is a 22mm electrolytic inline scale inhibitor, a water-side component that sits in the pipework of Ideal Commercial appliances. Its job is to limit the formation of limescale in the water circuit, protecting the heat exchanger and other wetted parts from the deposits that hard water leaves behind. It is a serviceable item, so it is replaced rather than cleaned when performance drops.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Limescale deposits found in the heat exchanger or on other water-side components
- Reduced hot water flow or unstable outlet temperature
- Kettling, rumbling or banging noises from the appliance during operation
- Repeated scale-related faults on appliances in hard water areas
- Visible corrosion, restriction or blockage at the inhibitor body or its connections
Before you order
- Confirm the appliance is an Ideal Commercial model and that the pipework connection is 22mm
- Check the part number on the existing component against 176017 before ordering
- Note that 1783279 may appear on older listings for the same item
- Have the appliance serial and GC details to hand when checking compatibility
