Your water heater is working harder than it should. Every grain of calcium that builds up inside it is like insulation, forcing it to burn more energy to heat your water. This can slash your water heater’s efficiency by up to 50%.
Your washing machine, dishwasher, and coffee maker are all being slowly choked by scale. You might notice your clothes fading faster or your coffee taking longer to brew.
Practical tip: If your faucets drip with a low, steady stream despite a new aerator, scale has likely built up inside the pipes. That’s a major clue you need intervention.
