The importance of descaling in the maintenance of water circuits in dishwashers and washing machines

In washing equipment such as dishwashers and washing machines, it is essential to keep the water circuits in optimal condition to ensure their efficient operation and prolong their useful life. Over time, machines that use water for their operation, especially hot water, tend to accumulate lime deposits, rust and other residues that clog the internal conduits. In this sense, the Limcal descaler from Dermo has become a practical and effective solution for the cleaning of water circuits of these teams, helping to dissolve and remove scale that affect their performance.

The limescale and rust deposits Limescale and rust build-up are formed in water pipes due to minerals present in the water, mainly calcium and magnesium. These substances are deposited in the pipes and internal circuits of dishwashers and washing machines, especially in those equipment that operate with hot water, where the temperature accelerates the accumulation of residues. These obstructions not only reduce the water flow, but also make the equipment work harder, increasing energy consumption and affecting washing results. Over time, the accumulation of limescale and rust can lead to structural damage to the pipes, seals and other components of the machine. This not only increases the risk of breakdowns and the need for costly repairs, but can also significantly shorten the life of the equipment. Therefore, the periodic application of a descaler How Limcal works in water circuits helps keep pipes clear and equipment in optimal operating conditions.

Remove limescale and rust deposits with Limcal

Limcal is a powerful descaler designed for Dissolve lime and rust deposits in water circuits, both in hot and cold water systems. Its formulation is specially designed to act in environments where difficult-to-remove minerals accumulate, and it is a versatile solution, as it can also be used in other contexts such as construction cleaning, in swimming pools (to remove traces of cement, saltpeter and rust) and as a tile joint cleaner. Limcal acts quickly and effectively, Removing scale without damaging the machine materials. This is especially important to protect the parts and seals of washing equipment, which are often sensitive to aggressive chemicals. Its application is simple and takes only a few minutes, providing an effective and preventative maintenance method to keep washing equipment in optimal condition.

Benefits of a well-descaled circuit

The periodic use of Limcal in the maintenance of dishwashers and washing machines offers a number of key benefits to the user. These include:

  1. Energy efficiency: by eliminating lime and rust residues, the equipment requires less energy to operate, which translates into a reduction in electricity consumption
  2. Optimal washing results: cleaning the circuits ensures a constant and unobstructed water flow, improving washing efficiency and ensuring that water reaches all areas of the equipment
  3. increasing the useful life of the equipment: the scaling Prevents deterioration of essential components, helping to extend the life of washing machines and dishwashers and reducing maintenance and replacement costs
  4. Reducing breakdowns: By preventing the build-up of waste, the likelihood of blockages and failures in water systems is reduced, minimising the need for repairs.

Applying Limcal to the water circuits of dishwashers and washing machines is simple and does not require advanced technical knowledge. To use it, it is recommended to dilute the product in an appropriate proportion according to the level of encrustation and leave it to act for the time indicated in the instructions, followed by rinsing with clean water. This cleaning process can be carried out periodically, depending on the level of water hardness in each region and the frequency of use of the equipment.
