Liff limefigher leak

[SJP]

After noticing a wet bathroom floor it appears to be coming from the "Liff Limefighter" under the sink area There is no obvious leak from either end so maybe theres a small hole in the cartridge itself? Are they easy to buy from plumbers merchants still, as it was there when I moved in 15 years ago! Pic at

It is a "Magnetic scale inhibitor" which means it has no measurable affect upon the water. You can get replacements at about £50 (eg

) or you can simply use a short length of copper pipe to replace it without noticing any difference.
