🤔Ever wondered what’s actually hiding inside your hot water cylinder?
We recently took this classic copper hot water cylinder out of a customer's house in Salisbury because they were constantly running out of hot water and couldn't even manage to fill a single bath.
When we cut it open, we found it completely rammed with limescale!
🔍 How does this happen?
The hot water from your boiler passes through a heating coil inside the cylinder, transferring heat to your tap water. But when that coil gets caked in a thick layer of limescale (we reckon there’s about 5kg of scale on this one alone!), it creates a massive barrier.
📉 What this means for you:
Massive Energy Inefficiency: Your boiler has to work twice as hard just to heat the water.
Higher Bills: You're paying for energy that's just fighting through rock-hard scale.
No Hot Water: It takes ages to heat up, leaving you with lukewarm showers and half-empty baths.
🚿 Suffering from a lack of hot water?
If your water is taking forever to heat up or running out way too fast, you might have a similar situation hiding in your cylinder.
Don't let limescale drain your wallet. Send us a message or give Warmflo Heating a call today to get your system checked out!
