Lincat Invoq Hydro Shield XL 6000 Complete

Q: Is this system difficult to install?

A: It's designed to be straightforward for a qualified plumber. As it's a complete kit, all the primary compatible components are included, which simplifies the process.

Q: Do I really need this for my Lincat oven?

A: If you are in a moderate to hard water area, then yes. It's essential for preventing limescale, which is the number one cause of component failure in combi ovens.

Q: What exactly does it filter out of the water?

A: Its primary job is to remove calcium and  magnesium carbonates (total hardness) that cause limescale, as well as other impurities and  chemicals like chlorine that can affect food taste.

Q: Can I use this filter system with a different brand of oven?

A: It has been specifically designed and  sized for the Lincat Invoq range. We would always recommend using the manufacturer-approved system for your specific appliance.

Q: How will I know when to change the filter cartridge?

A: Most modern combi ovens, including the Invoq, will have a built-in notification system that alerts you when a filter change is due based on water usage.

Q: What is an 'integrated return valve'?

A: It's a safety device that prevents water from inside the oven system from flowing backwards into the mains water supply, which is a key water regulation requirement.

Q: Does this unit require any electricity to run?

A: No, the filtration system is passive and  operates entirely on water pressure from your mains supply. It does not require its own power source.

Q: Will this improve the taste of my food?

A: Yes, by filtering out chlorine and  other impurities, the pure steam it helps create can lead to cleaner, untainted flavours, especially in delicate items like fish and  vegetables.
