Effects of Hard Water

Scale formation mechanism

Hard water precipitates calcium, magnesium and other mineral ions during evaporation, forming stubborn deposits on the surface of the equipment. Commonly found in:

Heat exchanger/boiler heat transfer surface (scaling rate>1mm/year)

Pipeline inner wall (deposition risk doubles when flow rate <1.5m/s)

Bathroom facilities (calcification scar hardness reaches Mohs level 3)

Industrial hazard evidence

Pipeline system

Narrowing of pipe diameter leads to 200-400% increase in pressure loss

Galvanized steel pipe corrosion rate increases by 5 times

Boiler system

1mm scale reduces thermal efficiency by 9-12%

Local overheating causes pipe burst accident (>350℃ pipe wall temperature difference)

Microbial risk

Scale pore formation For Legionella biofilm carrier

Increase the bacterial growth rate in hard water environment by 40%
