How does hard water affect your home ?

Preventing limescale build-up from hard water is an excellent way to avoid costly repairs in your home. Scale build-up happens when hard water leaves small mineral deposits in your plumbing, water-using appliances, shower and taps. As scale builds up on the heating element in your water heater, it will form that layer of rock around it that will have to be heated before any warmth reaches your water, causing your water heater to slowly become less and less efficient. Over time, this will cost more money as the water heater needs to work harder for longer periods to make hot water. This additional energy needed will also put added stress on the heating element itself, shortening its lifespan so you will have to replace the part or the entire unit prematurely. It’s not just your water tank that suffers, studies show that scale build-up can cause a washing machine to wear out 30% faster, too! The key to avoiding these costly repairs is prevention and eliminating the hard water in your home.
