I have bought a new scalemaster magnetic gold to fit to my main water supply to my home (my washing machine (cold fill) is rather black in the dispenser tray). Will the scalemaster do the job or is there something better I could use? I have one fitted already on my combi boiler. Someone told me that I will need one for every appliance that they are not really good enough for a main supply.

Its better to have one than not!

Black in the soap tray sounds more like mould than scale!

Its actually grey slimey stuff - could it be caused by lead pipes. I'm not sure if my pipes are lead or not - its a 1930's house I've recently moved into. The water leaves a grey mark on my cream sink when it dries - what would cause this and would the scalemaster cure this.
 
I don`t know the hardness of the water in Nottingham.but your water supplier will :idea: Soft water can dissolve lead , hard water doesn`t usually. Grey slimey could be powder residue.can you pull the tray out and clean it ?

The "clarke No" for the dishwasher is No 4 - I don't know if this is hard water or not. Is there a better alternative to the scalemaster magnetic gold? How does the scalemaster work? Does it remove anything else from the water other than scale?
