Today we're talking to you about a topic we know well: limestone.
You're probably aware by now that limescale buildup along appliance ducts causes premature aging, while also increasing energy consumption by up to 30% or more. But did you know that limescale not only damages surfaces but can also be toxic to many plant organisms? Let's proceed in order.
The presence of calcium carbonate in water often causes the solid deposit of residues better known as limestone.
As the hardness increases, the risk also increases that the touched surfaces will be progressively affected by the formation of increasingly larger calcareous deposits.
Scale can form anywhere—on the walls of pipes, heating elements, heat exchangers, etc.—resulting in a reduction in the appliance's reliability and efficiency, potentially resulting in significant financial losses. And that's not all.
Limescale also reduces the passage of water in pipes, causing blockages and permanent damage to the structures involved.
That's not all; there's more, and it concerns the use of detergents. Calcium salts, in fact, produce gelatinous precipitates when they come into contact with detergents, limiting their degreasing effectiveness.
It therefore becomes necessary to use a larger quantity of detergent to obtain the same cleaning results, with consequent environmental damage, due precisely to a greater use of substances that are discharged into the environment, a greater consumption of water for rinsing and obviously an increase in costs.
When washing clothes in the washing machine, for example, limescale builds up not only inside the appliance but also on the fibres of the garments, making them rough to the touch and requiring the use of additional fabric softeners.
If, while walking around your house, you notice that the leaves of your plants are wilted and lifeless, know that it's all the fault of the limescale!
Yes, because many plant species prefer low-hardness water for watering.
We've been working with limestone for a long time, and those who know us know that we try to do it in the most sustainable way possible.
