What is an Electronic Water Descaler?
A home equipped with an electronic water descaler has many benefits. This article will explain how water descalers work are a valuable addition to your home safety plan.
What’s an electronic water descaler, you ask?
An electronic water descaler treats limescale deposits that are caused by hard water. It is used in approximately 60% homes in the UK. Other methods, such as magnetic descalers or ion exchange softeners can be more costly and ineffective.

What is the quickest time I will start to notice the benefits?

Limescale can be difficult to get rid of, especially when some of them took decades to accumulate.
