*READ HERE FIRST!* There is NO battery in the Stopcor!

So you connect one of the wires to the pipes, and the other to an insulated wall. In that case, that battery of magnesium anode and bit of tap water should work for a long time :-)
It’s a battery !! Alternatively, you could use half a potato and a coupe of electrodes. Squirt in a bit of water on to the potato. Potatoes are especially good compared to other vegetables due to their high starch content. Then measure the voltage produced as plumberparts did with the Stopcore and now you have evidence that your CH system is better protected. Potatoes are readily available at your local supermarket and I think they are a bit cheaper than the product advertised here. Keep it real 😊
What is wrong with it being a battery? You have demonstrated that with your meter. The real issue is what functions does it really work for, so we look forward to the test results. Nothing worse than trying to remove limescale. . . for those of us without space and budget to maintain a water softener . . . perhaps we have the economics wrong on those?
@@Bob_too He has demonstrated it is a battery, no need to worry about that. Like the spud idea. There's usually a bad one in the bag you could use. Look forward to the video. Like to see the connection to earth better defined, both the resistance and best location for that.
Wouldn't the 2 metals have to be immersed in the same solution for this to work? Are you sure this isn't snake oil? I think it might be. Wish you would have shown us what's going on inside or at least show us the sacrificial anode that's in the box.
No. The anode and cathode are formed by connection one another. So as long as the metals are in contact, the electrons distribute between the two different metals to cause the electrical imbalance, forming the anode and cathode. When it is unintended, we call it “galvanic corrosion”. Like accidentally using two different materials which have a high galvanic potential between them for a bolt and a nut, or a bolt and the flange. One corrodes like crazy. Look up UA-cam videos on Galvanic Corrosion. Source - I am a chartered engineer and deal with saline coastal atmospheres
@@thaitichi It certain will do something. But how bad is the corrosion problem this is solving? Yes, it will make a system last a lot longer from a corrosion. But a boiler would die due to electronics anyway. It's cost Vs benefit and that is case by case. For a block of flats with district heating it is likely ideal. Or for a big commercial. I will be looking at the cost of the unit. As I'm an engineer I am prone to overengineering EVERYTHING.
Bigclive is going to love tearing this a new one. I'd seriously consider removing this video for your reputation. It's shockingly misleading the consumer, the limescale reduction claim alone should have gave it away.
I’m actually a bit gutted I didn’t take this apart myself! I may grab one and see what magnesium actually looks like. Other than that the ‘science’ (aren’t we fed up of hearing that yet!?😂) is sound. I’ve worked with sacrificial anodes for years and it’s nice there one on the market that does the same thing remotely.
@@plumberparts I'm not debating the use of sacrificial anodes as the boating industry uses these extensively, tried tested and proven. The application of this "sacrificial anode device" is comical though. You can literally look up the patent WO2018011608 they're literally charging people £50+ for what is essentially, a battery in a box. The patent was literally only granted today as well. You can even see the rejected attempts of the patent multiple times.
@@oOBlackThornOo Hi Mate. *I've just taken my one a part and checked the patent number on Espacenet (.Gov recommended). 1. There's no battery in it* - it's a magnesium anode core and spiral mounted in a solution that solidifies and activates it when the water is injected in. 2. Can you point me to the page about it having a battery in it and the multiple applications because I can't find that bit...but I did have a few beers last night!
Two different metals and a bit of electrolyte in a box IS a BATTERY :-), this is the same experiment as in school with the lemon and nails. The protection anode needs common electrolyte though.
Would love to see what is inside the unit...what's the bet to a 1.5 volt battery and not a lot else! The sacrificial abode needs to be in contact to be of any use. Still a few more ££ on the bill, coat the pipes in snake oil for best effect.
@@zeno2712 Hi Alan, Basically it creates a magnetic field activating the Brownian Motion in liquids, thereby reducing Limescale accumulation inside the pipes.It lasts for 3 years after this it needs replacement Don’t forget it contains a sacrificial magnesium anode that will be destroyed due to electrochemical corrosion protecting your heating system.
Hi Lee, You can install a STOPCOR on your water main and that’s it. The entire water system will be protected.However you must choose the right size of STOPCOR. Please check the website.
Seems similar to the claim that putting magnets around water pipes would prevent the build up of limescale - just something to sell to those that believe it works.
Think you mean magnetic scale inhibitors (the silver inline things) theyu'll efectively do the same thing. They don't stop the formation of scale, just 'suspend' it in the water more, reducing the chance it will 'cling' to a part of the system. It's not the main reason I'd fit a Stopcor anyway. Btw doing a take apart vid and comparison soon....but will take a few months to run the experiment!
See I don’t get this. A sacrificial anode is found in the actual water. If it was a unit that your heating water is flowing through, I could see this working, but I’m struggling to see how this will work without being in the water itself.
As you can see in the video we add water inside.. so instead of being inside the actual water, the anode provides protection externally. You are smart enough to realise that this an innovation!
Love the video, will be fitting one this week. To those who say it won’t work or it’s a con visit the stopcor website and learn more about how corrosion is caused and prevented in heating systems and then you will understand how and why this is worth fitting.
I am a sceptic on this. As an ex seagoing marine engineer and very familiar with sacrificial anodes on the hull and in SW cooling systems as well as impressed current protection of hull structures - the STOPCOR product just does not appear to stack up at all - to me. Has this equipment been tested and reported upon? Have an peer reviewed scientific papers been published? How have STOPCOR evaluated performance in service, what have they published ( not marketing wank) ? I am happy to be educated but need evidence.😉 PS: It may have been useful to measure PD prior to syringing the water in too.
Hi Norman, Not another peer reviewed paper! 😂 Doing a comparison test over the next few months. I’ll let you know the results. I’ve worked with sacrificial anodes for years - I could tell you the results now! Have a good one mate. PP. 👍
A filter can’t stop corrosion! It deals with the effects and it is not sorting the problem. No matter if you have a filter or not you need a STOPCOR the most effective method against Corrosion and Limescale.
Water softening prevents lime scale. Lime scale is the deposition of a precipitate which was in the water. Corrosion is the oxidation of the metal. Two different things
So it basically makes a battery, same as all the other products. Can't see it working without the sacrificial metal being within the same body of water.
James, great video matey. Odd question for you. What accounting software would you recommend for a starting plumber, I was thinking Quick Books on my mobile. Do you recommend any at all please? If so do you have a discount code? Thanks mate.
Hi James great video as always. If I install the Stopcor on my water main, would it protect the heating system as I have an f and e tank for the central heating in my home and the air gap between the ball valve and the water. As theres an air gap would the stopcor still work? Thanks.
I was a carreer commercial fisherman, inventor of voltage tuned fishing lures and have published articles as well as a book on tuning a boat to make it catch more fish. For the skeptics, the guys who know this works, are the ones that have bought a new boat and it simply won't catch fish like their old boat did. As in metal water pipes, you need a sacrificial anode that is submersed in the same water as the pipes needing protection and the anodes need to be solidly connected. I have done experiments on steel boat bilges and the anodes on the outside of a metal boat will not protect the metals on the inside. This, of course applies to all separated sections of the bilge that contain water and are sealed from the other sections. If there is a drain hole connecting the water in each section, then one anode will protect several sections of the bilge. The anode within the Stopcore does not share the water contact with the metal pipes and therefore will not corrode and protect the plumbing metals. 100% guaranteed.
Pretty sure I saw these at the last PHEX. Looks good. Perhaps you could try and do a follow up later in the year to see if the pub owners have noticed a difference? Love the science content as well. I learnt so much on my level 2 thst I didn't know about the science behind water and its behaviour. Perhaps some more of thst might be good to include. Cheers. Have a good weekend
Great video as always mate You’re a legend and even though I’m a straight man can I just say that when u bicep curl your tool bag I’m not scared to admit that u make my Willy twinge, good job 👍
Can you do one extra test please. After fitting the earth stud to the wall but without connecting the earth lead, measure resistance of the stud to a good earth. You will need a very sensitive meter. Whatever the resistance value, why don't they fit that resistor in the box? It really won't cost much. You can then connect it to a proper earth. Also the resistance will be properly defined. In some apps blocks might be damp etc.
Emmm sounds to good to be true. How can you earth it like that doesn't seem right . Maybe it's because I don't understand , I will have to look more into it.
usually the copper piping is grounded.. so by all means, this unknown voodoo box IS grounded :) just not the right way.. that peg in the wall does absolutely nothing but fill the hole you drill into the wall
For the limescale part could you do a demo over a few months with say one of your shower heads. See if between you and your partner the other can tell when the unit is connected. Thanks.
I'm going to do an immersion test on some bits of pipe over the next few months. For the scale thing I'd have to run a shower for a few months - the Mrs will go mental! 😂😂😂
Why not use a DC transformer to establish a voltage gradient that would last forever? This probably isn’t going to do anything that a decent inhibitor won’t achieve by controlling pH and dissolved oxygen.
Hi David, impressed current produced by a sacrificial magnesium anode which is the most active metal is better because it is naturally generated and therefore compatible with any metal. Worth mentioning the easy installation anywhere without the need of an external power source or batteries!
Maybe I could just wire a lemon up to the central heating to induce the voltage as that would be naturally generated. Perhaps even splash out on an organic Sicilian one🤔
Why do you say that ? Every single one I’ve installed has worked exactly as described to the point where customers have replaced the units after 3 years.
1.5v coming out of the stop core👍. Before connecting the red lead, as a comparison would have been good to see what the voltage was between the earth bolt and jubilee clip and then between the red lead and jubilee clip🤔.
Hi Dave, Thank you for your comment. That is absolutely true, if you test the pipe first you will see a different voltage and after the installation of a STOPCOR the voltage is from -1.3V to 1.5V And that is what we call cathodic protection powered by a sacrificial magnesium anode. You can try one, test it and send us your feedback.
How much and can I buy it online...or is there a Chinese version like them magnets in yellow plastic I brought off eBay for 2 quid... update...I continued watching your video...I will be buying cheers James
Lol, I wonder why @plumberparts denies that injecting the water in to the Putty with a Magnesium Anode to produce the 1.5 volt, does not evidence the formation of a basic electrolyte cell ? Perhaps he thinks that the 1.5v produced is magic rather than a cell by any other chemistry review. I’m loving watching the Video’s and the extent to which plumberparts, consistently denies chemistry in favour of advertising someone’s product sales and then tells anybody whom points out the flaws that they should not watch his channel in future. At some point he may realise this is a losing strategy for what otherwise has been a great channel with credibility. Keep it real and honest,
Great video mate, such a handy device for systems, great for all heating systems, I would say tho the anode drinking game not good this early in the morning, see you next week bud #alearmymassive
Hi Peter, The answer is yes! STOPCOR can protect the entire property. Make sure you choose the right size. Heater pro 1 for 1-2 Bedrooms Heater pro 2 for 3-5 Bedrooms For large scale applications you need the Commercial line C5 - C7- C9 The current can easily expand trough electrical conductivity in water even if you have plastic pipes connected.
I personally can’t see this product working. The voltage is low, and in resistance too great between the anode and cathode on this device. I have looked online for reviews, and i cant find anything. There would be a galvanic reaction going on in this device, but this is not going to help with the lame scale of your heating system.
One of the major problems associated with premature boiler breakdown or death, is water quality. Customers usually remember that the 10 year warrantee on their £1500.00 boiler is dependent on the boiler being serviced and tested annually for which they, the customer, has to pay. Strangely, customers forget this. Similarly, the manufacturers will not remind you even though they have your contact details with the boiler registration. Hmm, I wonder why?? Anything that prolongs the life, avoids expensive parts needing to be replaced and reduces running costs by improving system efficiency has got to be worth it.
🤔Doesn't an Earth wire need to be 'Earthed' to have any useful function? Just sticking a wire on a bolt in a concrete wall is of no use at all. There is no return path for an electrical current to flow, it's doing nothing.
This video does not review the product at all. A proper review would, at the minimum, test and show if the product works. Why does the blurb measure the current in volts? Where does the sacrificial chunk of magnesium go to if it is not immersed in the common electrolyte? Surely if a product like this works it should be promoted with independent reviews to alleviate any doubt.

Does STOPCOR protect all hot and cold pipes in a property ?
Hi Peter,
The answer is yes!
STOPCOR can protect the entire property.
Make sure you choose the right size.
Heater pro 1 for 1-2 Bedrooms
Heater pro 2 for 3-5 Bedrooms
For large scale applications you need the Commercial line C5 - C7- C9
The current can easily expand trough electrical conductivity in water even if you have plastic pipes connected.
I personally can’t see this product working. The voltage is low, and in resistance too great between the anode and cathode on this device. I have looked online for reviews, and i cant find anything. There would be a galvanic reaction going on in this device, but this is not going to help with the lame scale of your heating system.
Cheapo LAP multimeter m8. I know cos I have one. ;-)

Nice video!
Its not going too work like that, it needs connecting to the mass of earth not a wall if it works at all 😂
close to £100 now not £38
👍🤓👍
One of the major problems associated with premature boiler breakdown or death, is water quality.
Customers usually remember that the 10 year warrantee on their £1500.00 boiler is dependent on the boiler being serviced and tested annually for which they, the customer, has to pay. Strangely, customers forget this. Similarly, the manufacturers will not remind you even though they have your contact details with the boiler registration. Hmm, I wonder why?? Anything that prolongs the life, avoids expensive parts needing to be replaced and reduces running costs by improving system efficiency has got to be worth it.
Good vid , I’m sold 👍🇬🇧👌🇬🇧
🤔Doesn't an Earth wire need to be 'Earthed' to have any useful function? Just sticking a wire on a bolt in a concrete wall is of no use at all. There is no return path for an electrical current to flow, it's doing nothing.
This video does not review the product at all. A proper review would, at the minimum, test and show if the product works.
Why does the blurb measure the current in volts?
Where does the sacrificial chunk of magnesium go to if it is not immersed in the common electrolyte?
Surely if a product like this works it should be promoted with independent reviews to alleviate any doubt.
