What is lime scale?
Scale is mainly due to two minerals calcium and magnesium – these minerals are good for health but not for piping systems. The scale problem arises when scale deposits inside the piping system, equipment or on pipe surfaces. Hard water have high contains of calcium ions: the more calcium ions in the water, the water is harder and creates these scaling problems.
How Scale Problems Are Formed
Scale develops due to changes in water pressure, direction, and bends or intersects, which causes turbulence. It also occurs when water exits the piping system through the faucet. This drop in pressure increases the formation of calcium crystals and scale deposits.
Scaling and Rusting
Scale give rise to growth of bacteria
Problems caused by scale and rust
- Blocking in the piping system
- Water pressure drop due to reduce pipe diameter
- Corrosion and rust
- Bacterial growth
- Recurring repairs and replacement of damaged equipment
- Damage and replacement of the whole piping system
- High energy cost in the hot water circuit and heating elements
- Dull surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens
- Aggressive cleaning requires chemicals
- High maintenance costs
- Lower production due to frequent maintenance and cleaning
- Decreased overall productivity
Traditionally the water treatment market had one main solution to hard water: salt based water softeners. However, in recent years alternative electronic hard water treatments have become increasingly popular, the most interesting of which is electronic water conditioning.
If you’re looking to stop limescale, there’s plenty of ‘solutions’ on the market but the next generation in treatments is a conditioner from Ethix. It’s a time and cost effective choice, safe on the environment, with guaranteed results.
