Magcat

Meet Magcat – our most powerful and versatile dual treatment conditioner

Launched in 2008 following years of research and development, the Magcat is our most powerful and versatile conditioner. Magcat is a two stage residential and commercial water conditioning system, combining Fluid Dynamics’ magnetic and catalytic treatment systems into a single compact stainless steel housing. We believe it to be the most effective in-line conditioner on the market, globally. It also enables compliance with Part L Building Regulations in the UK.

OUR DUAL TREATMENT SYSTEM

Catalytic treatment is suitable for around 90% of the world’s potable water, however it is not suitable for water where the alloy can become fouled with iron or where water is already supersaturated with high levels of minerals. This led us to the development of dual technology – combining magnetic and catalytic technology to create our most innovative, versatile and powerful conditioning products to date.

Sizing

Size matters – selecting the right conditioner is critical

Selecting the wrong size conditioner – including using a larger diameter than needed – can compromise water delivery and affect treatment quality

Conditioner size should be selected based on flow rate

In general applications where the flow rate is known to be low or there is relatively heavy scale build-up inside the pipe already. In this instance, a conditioner 1 size smaller than the pipe diameter is recommended.
