Getting Rid Of Scale

This is a topic that has been discussed before, but the removal of the scale that exists inside your heating system with a water softener will prevent it re-forming. A water softener also reduces the amount of fuel used to heat the hot water because of its actions. There have been tests in a laboratory, backed by the government that confirmed that there was a 5.6% improvement. N9 Plumbers can advise on softening. To make sense of that result, should you have a condensing boiler installed with an energy efficiency rating of ‘A’, a reduction in that efficiency would take it back down to a ‘C’ rating, which is far below government guidelines.

This means that, from April 2007, UK building regulations state that water for any heating system has to be treated to reduce scale formation, and the water softener is an ideal appliance to achieve this. With a soft water supply, you will not have the tell tale limescale build up to remove, you also will not have soap scum stains, so you will use a lot less products for cleaning. You will save a lot of money, and your home will be a better friend of the environment. An N9 Plumber is trained to fit all appliances. These types of water treatment units will take away all existing scale that has formed in a homes appliances, pipes and also on surfaces like the shower and bath, and wont need to be replaced as soon as they would if your water was hard.

The Shower Head and Scale:
Initially it will spray water at all angles. Secondly, each of the nozzles block up, and your shower is a trickle. Having soft water, your shower will work at its maximum efficiency everytime and never block. The sink stays clean, and your taps shine and most importantly the removal of scale will ensure that your boiler and heating system work at peak efficiency.”
