Hard water is generally not a health problem, but it can become a real technical problem for a home: the calcium and magnesium it contains gradually form scale.
- 1
White marks on the taps
After drying, whitish deposits appear around aerators and on surfaces.
- 2
A shower that scales up quickly
Glass screens and taps need frequent cleaning.
- 3
A heating element that scales up
Scale settles on heating elements and gradually reduces their efficiency.
- 4
A boiler or appliance that performs less well
Equipment using hot water is particularly affected by deposits.
- 5
Heavy use of descaling products
When descaling becomes permanent, it pays to look at the cause rather than the consequences.
- 6
A poorly adjusted softener
A softener must be properly set and maintained. Excessively softened water is not desirable either.
Should you install a softener?
It depends on your water hardness, your installation and your needs. A properly sized and maintained softener limits scale in the domestic installation.
