Why water treatment for hard water? What are the hard water impacts and what is the scope of it? Here are some official figures given: USA: About 85% of American households use hard water, especially in the West and Central regions. Europe: In many countries, the percentage of hard water is also high. For example, parts of the United Kingdom, Germany and France have a hard water percentage of more than 60%. Asia: In India, Pakistan and some areas of the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, etc., the problem of hard water is relatively serious, especially in areas of rapid urbanization and industrialization. From some official data we can easily see that the hard water impact area is very large, about nearly 65% of the world's regions and populations are facing the impact of hard water.
How limescale affects homes and businesses
Energy consumption: Limescale deposits can act as an insulator, increasing energy use and consumption
1. Boilers using untreated hard water can consume 20-30% more energy
2. Each additional millimeter of limescale increases the energy consumption of water-using appliances and equipment by 7%.
3. Billions of pounds are wasted each year in increased energy costs and maintenance due to limescale problems.
Safety: Limescale deposits provide a breeding ground for harmful contaminants and bacteria (especially Legionella), and untreated calcium can also act as a catalyst for the growth of algae, especially when pipes are full of limescale bacteria.
Productivity: Scale buildup increases the chance of equipment failure, which can affect line operations.
How does our water descaler treat hard water to prevent limescale?
The ScaleDp water descaler is an easy to install water descaler that is designed to be piped into the water supply line to remove scale from the entire house. The ScaleDp Water Descaler is easy to install, it is designed to be piped into the water supply pipe and removes limescale wherever it can affect the whole house, and unlike a water softener, the ScaleDp Water Descaler retains the minerals in the water that are beneficial to the human body and does not alter the quality of the water.
We also work on a more environmentally friendly principle than water softeners, as we are a purely physical descaler without adding any chemical elements or reagents.
Once the ScaleDp descaler is installed, the product starts working immediately when the water passes through the descaler. The DPSE chip in the descaler releases directional mobile electrons that ecologically convert hard scale (calcite crystals - easily adheres to surfaces) into aragonite powder (low adherence - doesn't stick and is washed away). The original hard scale is gradually weakened and DPSE technology alters the crystalline structure of the calcium and magnesium ions, converting the hard, stubborn scale adhering to the pipe wall into soft, loose particles. These particles lose their ability to adhere to the pipe or equipment surface, thus effectively removing the existing layer of scale. The whole process only changes the physical structure of the limescale and is environmentally safe for domestic use.
