Grimaldi Agencies have their UK Headquarters at Grimaldi House in St James Square in London.
They have installed a 150-litre tank, non-ventilated hot water cylinder running at 4.5 bars of pressure to heat all the water in the entire premises. The water is heated by two electric immersion heaters and it is on 24 hours a day. All might have been well if St James Square was in a soft water area but the water supply is unfortunately very hard.
The hard water caused such limescale precipitation on the immersion heaters that they had to be changed every week as they became very quickly encrusted with thick scale. This layer of scale not only increased the overall usage of electricity as the scale was preventing the heat transferring into the water but also caused the elements to fail regularly.
Banyards Ltd of Brune Street in London who are responsible for the maintenance of the hot water systems in Grimaldi House asked Splendid Products Ltd to advise on a simple method way of solving the problem which was in fact becoming something of a costly nightmare.
Splendid supplied an LP4 electronic water conditioner which was fitted by Banyards and now over three months has elapsed with no problems at all. A huge saving in terms of downtime and energy.
The LP4 costs around £3.00 a year to run and requires no maintenance once fitted. It is therefore not surprising that other facility managers are very interested in this cheap and very effective method of solving the expensive and time consuming problem of Limescale.
The LP units are all made in Oxford in the U.K. by Splendid products Limited

This seems to be a more common problem nowadays. Nice to know there's a simple floral wall art solution out there.
