The negative effect of lime scale buildup is that pipes are blocked and the efficiency of hot boilers and tanks is reduced. This increases the cost of domestic water heating by about fifteen to twenty percent. Another negative effect of lime scale is that it has damaging effects on household machinery, such as laundry machines. Water softening means expanding the lifespan of household machines, and the lifespan of pipelines. It also contributes to the improved working and longer lifespan of solar heating systems, air conditioning units and many other water-based applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThis system provides neutralizing acid in your water in addition to softening water hardness.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you would like clear, filtered water \u0026amp; a balanced pH in addition to this system, click here. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWATER TRAVELS THROUGH 4 STAGES OF FILTRATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water flows through a 20\" sediment filter cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand and dirt.
