You must be familiar with the scale in the kettle. The more scaling, the longer it takes to boil water. Almost all families have water heaters, but few people look inside the water heater, so they don't know that the water heater is as thick as the electric kettle.

It is not less harmful than the water in the kettle.

1. Causing skin irritation

Shower shower time is long, the water will decrease gradually, it is because is blocked by the scale of the spray hole. Scale will scratch the skin, clogged pores, for a long time in the water heater in the process of precipitation and accumulation, sticky mud, microorganism, bacteria, constantly updated for a long time, alternating reaction, generate a lot of harmful substances, can cause a variety of skin diseases. Some women and children feel itchy and red after taking a shower, which may be related to scale.

Wasting energy

The thermal conductivity of scale is extremely poor, only for copper, iron and other metals for a tenth to a hundredth. If the water heater heating rod on a large scale, the heat released by the heating rod can't effectively passed to the water, a large amount of heat is loss, thus reduce the heating efficiency of the water heater. In this case, to ensure the parameters of the heating system, more energy must be put in to raise the temperature, resulting in wasted energy.

Shorten service life

The scale is adsorbed on the heating surface of the water heater, especially in the tube, it is difficult to remove. To descaling need often clean, thus increase the maintenance cost, not only the cost of manpower and material resources, financial resources, but also because of the frequently used mechanical descaling method and chemical method, can make the heating surface damage and greatly shorten the lifespan of the water heater.

4. Impact on safe operation

The heating rod of the water heater is in normal operation, because the temperature difference between the two is very large, the heat will be transferred to water or other media very quickly. Have furring, heating pipes heat due to the scale of the block, it is difficult to pass water supply, and therefore the temperature will rise sharply, intensity decreased significantly, resulting in the tank overheating deformation, beat, and even rupture.

Destroy the water cycle

When the water is produced in the water heater, it will reduce the pressure of the equipment due to the poor heat transfer. If there is scale in the pipe, the circulation area is reduced, which increases the flow resistance of water circulation. In serious cases, the pipe will be completely blocked and the water circulation will be destroyed.

The main components of scale are calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and the higher the hardness, the more prone to scale.

Therefore, in order to avoid the harm caused by the above scale, we recommend that you install Runlucky household softener or bath water softener. Soft water machine can protect your family's skin, reduce water heater energy consumption, increase water heater service life, protect water heater safe operation.
