Some places we find limescale at home

For the larger household like in the USA, then the Hydroflow HS40 is more suitable than the HS38.
This unit fits around the larger domestic pipe diameters, up to 63mm.
Alternatively, for the very large home, the Hydroflow C range may be the model for you.

How limescale builds up?
Limescale builds up where there is a temperature change, a pressure change, and where there is water turbulence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


What are the benefits?

With the rise of household energy prices, installing the Hydroflow is not only a ecological decision but an economic one too. Approximately 1mm of limescale can decrease the efficiency of your boiler by 10%. Limescale causes wasted electricity and gas as heating elements become increasingly ineffective. Installing Hydroflow protects valuable household equipment and appliances, and increases longevity of life. Hydroflow soon pays for itself in the energy savings, and costs very little a year to run.

Does it need any plumbing?
No - it simply clips to existing pipework, without any dismantling whatsoever.
The HS40 fits pipe work of up to 63mm outside diameter.

Where does it go?
Preferably installed on the cold feed to where the water is being heated.

Dear Peter (Limescale Australia)
Living in Meekatharra WA has it’s setbacks and one of them is the quality of the scheme water. Very quickly hard calcium deposits build up on anything that the scheme water comes in contact with. Sinks and tubs get coated even when you keep them clean as possible. Kettles develop a build-up and eventually die.
Air-conditioner batts especially get a massive build-up in just one summer. You could almost build walls with them. When I saw the Hydroflow HS advertised in our local paper I thought I would contact you and see what it was all about.

 
After using the Hydroflow HS for 12 months, I am totally convinced that it works to perfection. I have tested it in every possible way, by leaving water residue lying in the sink, laundry tub and leaving a dripping tap to continue onto a brick floor for 3 weeks while I was away from home. The only thing remaining in the sink and tub was a thin smear which promptly wiped off with a dry cloth and left no mineral residue whatsoever.
The rose in my shower, which I scoured and took off all but a small piece of the existing scale, is still spotless except for the small piece which has not increased at all. This tells me that the Hydroflow HS is really doing its job.

The dripping tap was always a talking point as it developed a stalagmite on the brick. As we know these are caused by mineralisation in the water. No longer do I have a talking point (No stalagmite) so I have put a new washer in the tap. The best thing though is the fibre batts in my evaporative air conditioner. Prior to last summer I had a look at the batts and they had a considerable amount of scale in them.(I had put them in new for the previous summer.) Checking them before 1st use this season I find them to be completely free of any scale.
This indicates that the Hydroflow HS is a winner in my eyes. To save over $100 each summer soon pays for the device. 
I am very happy to endorse this product as a winner and to promote the use of the Hydroflow HS. 


Best wishes

TESTIMONIAL - Australia
I had an ongoing problem with lime build up in pipes causing pipes to block, ugly lime stains on wet area surfaces and I was using far too much washing powder than necessary to get clothes clean not to mention the copious amounts of dish wash detergent needed to get any soap bubbles at all.
I happened to mention this to Joe Somers from Hydropath NZ and he put me on to a Hydropath unit. I was unsure I would be able to install it my self but it was a breeze to install.

It was not long before I noticed the lime stains diminishing and later in the course of having some work my hot water cylinder needed to be emptied and when I saw the amount of lime that had literarily fallen off the element I was amazed and now the hot water heats up more quickly.
I can recommend the Hydropath unit it makes life that much easier and the best thing is no additives in the water.
