Water Conditioners
Water that is naturally hard, as in 70% of the UK, contains dissolved calcium and other minerals and the effect on pipework and water systems can be detrimental. It is an HSE recommendation to consider water conditioning to address any potential scale forming conditions.
Water Conditioning: Problems of Hard Water
When water borne minerals, such as calcium bicarbonate, revert to their solid carbonate state, limescale is formed in water systems and this narrows pipes, blocks jets, slows the flow, reduces thermal efficiency and provides a bacterial haven for bacteria.
Research has shown that just 6mm of limescale will reduce energy by a staggering 40%, resulting in higher running costs, increased energy bills, lost production and early renewal of capital equipment.
To combat these issues, we offer a range of Water Conditioners, contact us for assistance in selecting an appropriate product.
