The hard facts of scale
If you live in
a hard area, you'll soon know - just look in the kettle -
furred up appliances are just one problem!. Scale forms
faster when water is heated. Government statistics show that
scale accumulates at approximately 1/16" every year and
within 5 years you could be loosing 70% of your water
heating efficiency.
Scale also
collects in your water heating systems with symptoms such as
sludge, noisy
radiators and reduced flow and efficiency, it also blocks
shower heads again reducing
flow and efficiency. Eventually your whole hot water systems
becomes so inefficient it
will require replacing - and the same goes for appliances
such as kettles, showers and washing machines. So hard water
is actually costing you hard earned money. |
