Scale Prevention and Bacteria growth

Scale or limescale forms when untreated water is heated or the water pressure changes. Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. These minerals separate from water to form scale or small rock-like deposits of calcium salts.

Scale forms in water heaters, tea kettles, coffee makers and any appliances when water is heated or when there is a pressure drop such as in nozzles, faucets and showerheads. Most of our cities have hard water in the USA.

The formation of scale when hard water goes untreated is not only a problem with appliances and home fixtures. Hard water results in scale formation in the interior surfaces of the piping used in home plumbing and this creates a perfect setting for bacteria growth or Legionella, deadly pneumonia-causing agent.
This is the water you use to drink, bathe and wash your clothes.

Do we have a problem now?

Scale must be prevented as the damage to your health could be very serious.

 Scale or limescale develops when untreated water undergoes heating or experiences changes in water pressure. Hard water, characterized by high levels of calcium and magnesium, allows these minerals to precipitate out of the water, forming scale or small rock-like deposits of calcium salts.

This scale formation occurs in various household appliances such as water heaters, tea kettles, coffee makers, as well as in plumbing fixtures like nozzles, faucets, and showerheads, especially during heating or pressure fluctuations.

In the USA, many cities have hard water, exacerbating the scale formation issue. The consequences extend beyond appliance damage; untreated hard water also leads to scale buildup within home plumbing, providing an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria such as Legionella, which can cause severe pneumonia.

Given that this water is used for drinking, bathing, and laundering clothes, the implications for health and hygiene are significant. The connection between untreated water and health risks is evident in cases like Flint's, where Legionnaire's disease was strongly linked to the water supply.

Preventing scale is crucial, as its implications for health can be severe. An alternative solution is available in the form of an inexpensive and environmentally friendly Whole House unit, which requires no salt, maintenance, or chemicals.

Take charge of your water quality and safeguard your health by investing in effective water treatment solutions.
