Does Eddy help reduce maintenance of combi-boilers and hot water systems?
We have many happy customers using Eddy with all types of boiler and other types of water heating system, however, combi-boilers are particularly prone to build-up of limescale deposits because of their design. In many combi-boilers (not all) incoming mains water is heated directly by the gas flame in a small heat exchanger. This exchanger can become easily fouled with limescale. This can lead to increased maintenance issues. We have many customers who report much reduced maintenance requirements with their combi-boilers after fitting Eddy. The amount of additional protection given to your hot water system is dependent on the exact water hardness in your area and also the chemical composition of the naturally dissolved solids in your water supply. Also the operating temperature that the heater is adjusted to work at. In the majority of cases Eddy can be highly effective in helping to reduce scale build up in your hot water heating system.
