What is scale?

It is hardly a secret for anyone that the water supplied to our apartments from a centralized water supply system is imperfect. It contains a huge variety of salts and impurities. Of particular danger to dishes and household kitchen appliances are precisely the salts of carbonate origin. To clean the liquid, you have to install expensive equipment that will filter and soften the water. But not every tenant of an apartment building can afford it.

It is because of the problems with the water that enters our apartments that scale is formed - a precipitate that covers the inside of the kettle and is insoluble in both cold and boiling liquids. From a kitchen faucet, water of medium or high degree of hardness comes to us, so the appearance of an unpleasant coating on dishes and an electric kettle is only a matter of time.

Cleaning the Kola Kettle is one of the easiest and most effective ways to get rid of scale. However, to achieve the desired result, you need to know how to do it right and get rid of all the negative consequences of poorly treated water without any problems.

Why is descaling necessary?

Clean the kettle regularly to avoid the following problems:

1. The scale that has deposited on the walls of the kettle greatly reduces the rate of heat transfer, as a result, the cost of electricity or gas increases.
2. If a similar plaque forms on the appliance, your kettle can quickly become unusable.
3. Scale from the walls of the kettle can exfoliate and fall into the water. Due to such impurities, the water gets an unpleasant aftertaste, and there will also be a noticeable change in its color.
4. If you use this water for cooking and drinks, then there is an increased risk of health problems, including a deterioration in well-being associated with the accumulation of carbonate salts in the body.

Important! At the initial stage of scaling, this is a porous structure that is fairly easy to remove from the surface of your household appliances. However, after each boiling of water, the amount of scale on the walls of the kettle grows, and accordingly, it becomes more difficult to remove it every day.
