Hard water is the primary cause of boiler malfunctions in the UK due to limescale build up and pipe blockage. Here's how to deal with it or what steps to take.

Limescale Build up Appliances with frequent hard water involvement are most susceptible to limescale build-up. It is terrible news for the equipment as it limits their efficiency and lifespan. Reduces Energy Efficiency Limescale reduces the boiler's efficiency by up to 12%, making it hard for the boiler to heat water. It congests the pipes involved in heating and distribution, making it take longer to heat water. Shortens Appliance Lifespan Kettling effects put additional strain on the system due to hard water. As a result, the system works under pressure and eventually gives in, decreasing efficiency with time and shortening the boiler's lifespan. Reduce Water Quality The waste mineral deposits left behind within the pipes due to the hard water supply affect the water quality from your taps. The murky nature of water is due to large amounts of mineral deposits within the pipes Dulls Items Frequent cleaning using hard water can lead to dulling the cleaned items like glass and ceramics over time. It is also harder to lather soap, extending the time it takes to complete your chores. WWW.THEBOILERINSTALLATIONSPECIALISTS.COM
