productnews Water wise
NoCalc, a revolutionary product designed to protect the home against the build up of limescale, has made three new design enhancements to its product. Firstly, each NoCalc dispensing cartridge now treats up to 50,000 litres of water, so homes need only replace the cartridges two to four times each year, dependent on the size of the household. Secondly, the NoCalc refill cartridges now come with an integrated sound indicator as a reminder when the cartridge needs replacing. This alarm only works when the tap is switched on and is complemented by the red ball indicator that, when it drops inside the cartridge, also indicates that it’s time for replacement.
Finally, all NoCalc starter packs now come complete with a universal, easy-to-fit connector set. The set contains two brass connectors (Kiwa approved), that offer a unique short female ¾-inch straight thread. This ensures it only needs minimal space and can be fitted to the NoCalc Starter set in seconds by using a fibre washer (no PFT tape required).
NoCalc works by dispensing a tiny amount of silico polyphosphate into the water as it enters the home. This is done through a patented dosing system. Silico polyphosphate coats the calcium and magnesium in the water allowing it to flow freely through the pipes. It is also 100% safe for drinking water

On the tiles Sandtoft, a Wienerberger brand, has expanded its industry-leading clay product range with the launch of a new interlocking plain tile. Designed to give a clean contemporary look using traditional clay material, the innovative product combines a variety of features and benefits, making it over 30% more cost effective than traditional plain tiles. Adding to Sandtoft’s extensive and trusted plain tile product range, the new Vauban is an interlocking clay tile with an easy-to-lay open gauge, able to perform at pitches down to 22.5 degrees. At half the weight of concrete plain tiles and over 40% lighter than traditional plain tiles, the product is leading the way in terms of both quality and efficiency, reducing completion times by up to 30%. The Vauban is available in three colour ways – slate engobe, multiblend and natural red – and has also been designed to perform as a useful vertical cladding solution.

Full steam ahead
German premium domestic appliance manufacturer Miele has perfected its steam oven technology with the new Generation 6000 range, which includes the Generation 6000 DGC6600XL combination steam oven. Perfect for cooking food with a combination of dry, radiant heat and moisture, it has a large 48-litre capacity and offers both oven and grill cooking functions. A-rated for energy, it features Miele’s new MultiSteam technology, where water from the tank is pumped into a powerful steam generator located behind the motorised lift-up control panel. Steam is then distributed quickly and uniformly via six inlet ports, ensuring even cooking while retaining essential vitamins and minerals. The Generation 6000 DGC6600XL features automatic programmes for cooking, reheating and defrosting as well as a food probe. You can also use the Menu Cooking programme to cook up to three foods at the same time with no transfer of flavours. The display will indicate when and on which shelf the dishes should be placed in the oven, so each one is ready at the same time. Other benefits include, SensorTronic controls for simple and convenient touch operation as well as maintenance programmes for descaling, soaking, rinsing and drying.
