If you cringe at the phrase “lime build-up,” you just might work in an industry that has to fight against hard water lime deposits on a daily basis. These deposits can build up over years and completely block pipes and destroy machinery and other equipment. Water softeners are not enough to prevent heavy lime build-up, so here are four reasons to consider a hard water descaler instead.
1. Eco-Friendly
Water softeners require salt to replace the calcium and magnesium content. The softeners then discharge the salt as well as additional chlorides. These additives are not environmentally friendly and are also not necessary. By using a salt-free, electronic magnet or wave system, you can prevent lime deposits without expelling anything additional. Industrial descalers are cost-effective and chemical-free, which can also help you meet increasing amounts of government regulation. In addition, proper water treatment may let you reuse the water throughout the job site, limiting your energy costs and wastewater removal expenses.
2. Low Maintenance
In addition to excessive amounts of salt, traditional water softener systems require a ton of regular maintenance. Hard water descalers, on the other hand, can be cheaply installed and require minimal maintenance. Stop worrying about your job site’s water hardness and let a lime descaler work for you.
3. Prevention Against Expensive Repairs
Hard water can do serious damage to pipes and equipment of all kinds. This includes both corrosion and blockages. Corrosion can begin from both the exterior or interior of the pipe, causing slow flow, leaks, or copper contamination. When pipes get badly clogged with lime scale build-up, plumbing repairs and replacements can send costs through the roof. Thankfully, interior blockage and damage is mostly preventable. Descalers reduce the saturation level and mineral deposits of your water. This will help prevent the water you use from leaving behind any corrosive materials or adhesive calcium deposits.
4. Built to Last
Industrial descalers can be put to the test because they are designed to handle your industry needs. Whether you work in construction, on an oil rig, in a factory, or elsewhere, hard water descalers are essential for protecting your pipes and equipment. Considering your area’s weather conditions is a must. Thankfully, many models are rugged and weather-resistant, ready for whatever your job requires.
Look for a system that runs automatically but includes an easy-to-read display. You can purchase systems meant for different pipe sizes as well as both magnetic and non-magnetic pipes. Depending on your industry’s capacity needs, consider consulting with an expert to determine which set-up is ideal for you. No matter what you decide for your hard water descaling system, you will soon wonder how you ever survived without one.
