With every millimeter of lime on the thermostat and the heating element, the electricity consumption increases! For every additional hour per day, your heater generates an extra cost of approx. €87.60 per year. (1.2 Kw per hour x 365 days = 438 Kw per year x 0.2Euro) These additional costs increase year after year if descaling is not done.

If the anode is not replaced as well, it causes the heater to lose all anti-corrosive protection after 2-4 years, which leads to it rusting completely after another 2-4 years.

We replace the anode only when necessary (every 2-4 years).

Water absorbs various minerals as it filters through. These are important for health in drinking water. If the groundwater is heated again, the absorbed calcium carbonates are released again and deposited in pipes, aerators, and heating rods as hard scale.

Lime has preservative properties, for example, over many years, dead organisms can turn into stone through lime and thus give us information about what used to be.

Lime also has the property of being an excellent insulator. Unfortunately, it is precisely this property that in a boiler, kettle, or washing machine means that we use more energy than is really necessary.
