Limescale on the pipes! Here's how to fix it! Descaling wash!
The problem of limescale in hot water pipes leads to a decrease in the flow of sanitary water, making it come out with very little pressure from your users and taps. Everything starts from the gas boiler or water heater which circulates the water inside and warms up to form limestone, starting to deposit limestone inside the pipes and the heat exchanger. For this reason, a descaling filter is always recommended in order to remove limescale residues before entering the boiler and to be able to maintain your boiler and your sanitary water system in the best possible way.
When is the descaling washing of the boiler or gas water heater used?
The first solution is to go and carry out the checks to see if the limescale problem is found only inside the gas boiler or water heater or it will be necessary to wash the supporting system at each tap. What we recommend is to wash as soon as you start to see pressure problems on the hot water system so as to only wash the heat generator without resorting to total washing. As soon as washing is finished, a water softener must be installed in order to keep both the generator and the system completely clean and without limescale residues.
Why do we find ourselves carrying out a descaling wash of the plumbing system?
When the system begins to fill with limescale because the water is no longer able to flow correctly in the pipes, the water from your tap will no longer come out with the correct flow and will also damage the cartridges or headworks of your mixers. Before going to carry out the washing of the system it will be necessary that the customer is fully aware of the risk of the washing process of the possibility of drilling the pipes in the case of iron or copper systems because over time small holes are created that with the limestone will be plugged but when the descaling wash is carried out, the limestone will be removed which will reopen these holes in the pipes in the case of very old systems.
How washing is done
total descaler of the hydraulic system?
Let's start with the verification of the type of system and then go to carry out the descaling wash to understand how many users are served and what type of pipes are there if in iron or copper and to go and choose the type of products to carry out the descaling wash. After having checked everything, special connections will be installed on all the hot water outlets of each single tap. We will connect a special control unit that will collect all the pipes and reconnect them to our pump for washing, then we will disconnect the hot water pipe under the boiler or gas water heater and we will connect them to the delivery pipe of the pump for add the descaling liquid. Immediately after the complete connection we will start the washing and we will clean for each individual user with subsequent washing with inhibitor in order to remove all residues and cancel the effect of the products used in the washing of the system.
