Protect your plumbing from limescale with a water softener

Debbie Boxall, Harvey Water Softeners

Limescale: the hard, off-white deposit of calcium carbonate that’s left behind by hard water when it evaporates. It’s responsible for unsightly bathrooms, ineffective heating systems and frequent tradesperson maintenance call outs!

Build-ups of limescale which form on the inside of heating pipes insulate the hot water flowing through and prevent it from heating a property efficiently; while limescale that builds up in kettles, on taps and showerheads not only looks unattractive, but reduces the performance of these appliances over time.
