	Limescale removal compositions - Patent 5677271 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Limescale removing compositions are disclosed which comprises a C1-C6 linear or branched alkyl sulfonic acid or mixtures thereof.
		An aqueous acidic composition suitable for removing limescale, said composition comprising from 1% to 50% by weight of the total composition of a C1-C6 linear or branched alkylsulfonic acid, or mixtures thereof and from 0.1% to 25% of sulfamic acid.
		The limescale removal efficiency of samples is evaluated by putting a block of 6 g of calcium carbonate in 50 mls of the sample to be evaluated for a period of 30 minutes.

	Limescale Protection for Coffee Machines
		Limescale has been a perennial problem for coffee machine manufacturers and their users.
		This unit prevents limescale adhering to internal surfaces on the coffee machine.
		Traditionally, the only method of dealing with the problem of limescale build-up was to soften the water chemically, via the zeolite or ion exchange method - whereby magnesium and calcium ions are exchanged with sodium ions.

	Problems of limescale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		When water-borne minerals, such as calcium bicarbonate, revert to their solid carbonate state, limescale is formed in water systems and this narrows pipes, blocks jets, slows the flow, reduces thermal efficiency and provides a breeding ground for bacteria.
		Research has shown that just 6 mm of limescale can reduce energy efficiency by a staggering 40%, and, in a moderately hard water area, 6 mm of limescale can form in pipework, or on heat exchangers in just 2 years.
		The traditional solution to the problem of limescale has been the use of chemicals to prevent or remove scale, and to control the bacteria that thrive because of it.

	Hard water in washing machines
		Therefore the main advantage of limescale tablets is to reduce the amount of detergent used, and as long as you use the correct amount of detergent and use quality washing machine detergent, it should protect your washing machine from limescale.
		Maybe they would rather people use Calgon tablets and keep their washing machines free of limescale (and working) even if it is a short-sighted solution - they clearly aren't looking at it from the bigger picture point of view, which someone suffering from bad limescale problems would be better off doing.
		Softening the water in your washing machine with Calgon or similar anti limescale tablets will allow you to reduce the amount of detergent you need to use (which is a plus point).

	Water Softener Warehouse - Water Problems - Limescale
		If you have "hard" water you will see grey/white limescale deposits building up on the inside of your kettle and spotting the surfaces of shower stalls, sinks, taps and counter tops.
		Hard water and the resulting limescale is not a health issue but it is considered a nuisance.
		The cure for eliminating future limescale problems is to have an ion-exchange water softener installed on the mains.

	Super Limescale Preventer
		Superconcentrate Limescale Preventer is used to stop limescale build-up throughout the hot and cold water system, prolonging it's life and saving on fuel bills and descaling.
		Superconcentrate Limescale Preventer is suspended from a bar or rod in the cold water storage tank near to the water inlet, taking care not to obstruct the free movement of the ball valve.
		Please ensure that the dispenser is fully submerged, but not in contact with the bottom or sides of the tank, and does not impede the correct operation of the ball-valve arm.

	magnetic water and limescale reducer by Ecoflow UK
		There has been much less limescale than before as the sinks are not staining and in the kettle there is little limescale build up compared to before.
		As water passes through the CRP magnetic field the limescale (salt) molecules lose their attraction to one another and are prevented from combining into larger structures (limescale), causing them to remain in suspension.
		The H2flow does not remove limescale but suspends it in a solution, without stripping the water of its minerals, while magnetically treating it to be a healthier water to drink instead of tap water.

		We are the leading name in electronic water conditioners that combat limescale, bacteria & algae in all five continents.
		These clusters act as seeds for calcite precipitation in suspension, therefore the resulting suspension does not adhere to pipe work or internal surfaces, but is merely 'washed away' with the flow or during blow down.
		Please note that our full range of water conditioner protect against limescale by propagating the signal through the given system, yet for bacteria & algae to be treated, water needs to flow past the conditioner to be treated correctly.

	Scale Manager 2 Magnetic Water Descaler: The alternative to Water Softeners: reduces Limescale the affects of Hard Water
		Scale Manager 2 is the maintenance free solution to hard water problems; removing existing limescale and preventing further build-up without the need for chemicals, salts, alteration to plumbing, or a separate drinking water supply, unlike a water softener.
		Limescale: Whilst limescale itself is not considered a health hazard, hard water has been known to exasperate eczema and irritate those with sensitive skin conditions.
		Limescale build-up also dramatically reduces the life and increases maintenance costs of appliances such as, washing machines, dishwashers and your water heating system.

	Hard Water Problems - limescale deposits, reduced heating efficiency, skin irritation
		Solar heating, often used for heating swimming pools is prone to limescale buildup, which can reduce the efficiency of the electronic pump and therefore the overall systems performance will deteriorate.
		A low cost solution to this problem is to install a magnetic water conditioner before the pump, this will prevent limescale buildup and, over time, it will remove existing limescale.
		They further state that in some instances, where dissolved calcium and magnesium are very high, water could be a major contributor of calcium and magnesium to the diet.

	Limescale... The causes and solutions
		The build-up of limescale in domestic hot water supplies and primary systems is a major problem that all heating engineers should be aware of.
		Problems are caused when the scale builds on surfaces such as the inside of a copper tube or a pump, to a point where flow rates drop, valves and pumps jam, or system efficiency decreases.
		It is often believed that a lining of scale on the inside of a pipe will protect the pipe.

	Dealing With Hard Water & Limescale UK : Diy Hints, Tips & Advice : Diy Doctor
		This is a simple job to tackle which will alleviate the problems of limescale build up in most homes for substantially less cost than a conventional chemical water softener.
		The build up of limescale is radically reduced, not only on visible surfaces like taps and kettles, but also in places where limescale damage cannot be seen, such as heating elements in washing machines, and hot water tanks.
		After fitting Eddy any small deposits of limescale that are still present, in kettles for example, should be powdery and easily cleaned away with a quick rinse or a gentle wipe.

	WATER FILTER - Sediment Filter & Limescale Preventor
		It works by passing the water firstly through a sediment filter to remove suspended matter like mud, sand and metallic oxides over 20microns in size.
		Then the water goes through the Siliphos cartridge which treats the water to prevent the limescale being able to build-up on surfaces.
		By reducing the amount of limescale that builds up on heating elements and the internal parts of appliances, their life is extended, energy costs are reduced as they are more efficient and maintenance is kept to a minimum.
