The scale formed on heating surfaces in kettles, boilers and hot water cylinders etc acts like insulation therefore more energy is needed to heat the water. Washing machines and dishwashers using HARD WATER require more maintenance, servicing and cleaning. They also need more detergents to clean properly. Your skin and hair feel dry after washing in HARD WATER and scum is formed by the reaction of the magnesium with soap.
