Limescale problems and limescale prevention

Many people who live in hard water areas may have limescale problems which reduce the life and increases maintenance costs of appliances, such as, electric showers, kettles, washing machines, dishwashers, boilers etc. Research has shown that renewals and repairs on these appliances can cost the consumer double in a hard water region, when compared to that of a soft water area.

Heating your water when there has been a limescale build-up translates into lower heat transfer. The result is the water will take longer to heat using more power and expense, costing dearly both in terms of your pocket the environment. see - Savings page.

Regardless of whether your pipe work is plastic, lead, copper or steel it has a greater potential than that of water and thereby attracts the limescale forming minerals in what is referred to as seeding.

Limescale problems in your water heating system translates into lower heat transfer. Heating your water through limescale takes longer, this means your water heating costs will keep rising as the scale increases. Limescale build-up also dramatically reduces the life and increases maintenance costs of appliances such as, washing machines, dishwashers and your water heating system. Combination boilers are particularly susceptible to limescale. It can cause poor hot water flow and noise/kettleing within the boiler.

Limescale prevention is possible through the use of Scale Manager 2 which totally eradicates limescale from your water supply, before limescale problems have a chance to begin and provides continued limescale prevention.
