Protection From Limescale - How to Remove Limescale Deposits

The effects of hard water in and around the home are all too obvious to the consumer. There are ample cases of blocked showerheads and the build up of limescale in kettles, on kitchen and bathroom taps, toilets and other appliances. Sometimes the effects of limescale deposits go unnoticed, however, household washing machines, dishwashers and central heating systems are prime examples of the invisible menace of limescale and how being left untreated can prove costly for the occupier.

A prime example of where the unnoticed build up of limescale deposits can have detrimental effects is on central heating systems. Some effects are, such as noisy boilers or sticking valves are not only annoying, but they can also cause a lot of inconvenience for occupants in that affected systems may not deliver the required performance. If limescale goes unchecked in this instance then boilers, pumps and valves can collect limescale deposits, causing not just noise, jammed parts and poor performance, but also higher fuel bills, due to boilers and central heating systems having to work harder to function correctly.

Specialist central heating system treatments have been devised by in order to reduce the impact that the build up of limescale deposits can have on central heating systems. These solutions attempt to reduce limescale build up by eliminating sludge and debris and therefore helping occupants avoid unnecessary bills and reduce the stress caused by these high bills.

One of the more popular methods of tackling this problem is to have your central system heating cleaned with a special cleaning solution using a power flush unit. The unit will disperse a specially formulated treatment solution that tackles limescale build up along with additional debris and sludge, through your heating system, which will clean, and flush the system, eliminating any signs of limescale build up and additional debris or sludge.

Once this stage of treatment has been performed, the engineer can then carry out additional measures to ensure that the build up of limescale deposits does not occur again. The addition of a specially designed inhibitor formulation will protect steel, copper and aluminum system components and keep them protected, not just from deposition of scale but also from the long-term effects of metal corrosion. In this way, a clean central heating system will continue to perform at its maximum effectiveness, remaining reliable and keeping energy usage costs down, saving money at the same time.
