Introduction – Effects of Hard Water on Water Heating Systems
Hard Water is a major cause for water heater breakdowns. Hard Water has multiple effects on the performance of your water heating systems like heaters, geysers and heat pumps. The deposits from hard water cause a coating of scaling on the heater coils which thereby reduces the efficiency of the heaters.
List of Problems: Associated with Hard Water and Heating
- Water takes more time to heat since the coils are directly not in touch with the water due to scaling.
- Heaters run for a longer time and consume more energy by upto 50%
- The capacity of the heaters reduce as more scale build up takes place inside the heating tank
- Eventually need to change the coils which is a frequent expense
- The heaters and geysers having high scale deposits and need to be changed completely
What is the Solution?
Using an effective water softener can save you from all these issues and ensure that your water heating systems have a good life, heat faster and save more energy. A water softener helps in reducing scale buildup which in turn helps the water heating systems. It is the most ideal way to get rid of the effects of hard water on water heating systems.
