What is Scale?

• Scale, also called limescale, is a hard mineral buildup caused by calcium and magnesium in hard water.
• It appears as white, chalky residue on faucets, shower heads, dishes, and inside appliances.
• Over time, scale can clog pipes, reduce water flow, and lower appliance efficiency.

Why Does Scale Form?

• Hard water contains dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium.
• When water is heated or evaporates, these minerals solidify and stick to surfaces.
• The more hard water your home uses, the more scale can accumulate.

How Do Water Softeners Help?

• Remove hardness minerals before water reaches your home’s plumbing.
• Prevent scale buildup in pipes, fixtures, and appliances.
• Improve water heater efficiency and extend appliance lifespan.
• Reduce spotting on dishes and make soaps and detergents work better.
