November warmth !

It's November 3rd and it has been cold. I just wonder how many boilers are firing up for the first time to put the central heating on. Plenty I expect. But how costly it will prove for some folk since not only have oil prices gone up since last year but many will unwittingly be trying to heat their water through a very thick layer of limescale !!!

The thicker the scale on the heat exchangers the more energy (OIL GAS OR ELECTRICITY) will be used.

Why would anyone in a hard water area NOT install a Little Plumber because not only will it prevent new scale but it also removes the existing scale, improving heating efficiency by so much that I have known people who have had to turn down their thermostats!

I keep being asked by customers if they have to install their LP units on the rising main. NO they can fit the unit anywhere as the conditioning effect travels upstream and downstream.

descalers and water conditioners

Well it's been over 10 years since I started making and selling the Little Plumber water conditioner and I now have literally thousands of happy customers. Why would anyone want to buy a water softener when you can have one of these babies for under £90.00. No maintenance and so easy to fit a blind fool could do it.

Do they work? Well if they don't we give a no quibble 12 month money back guarantee so you've got a long time to be sure it's doing the job. I claim we have never had one back but in fact we have just had our first one returned...the guy got his money back instantly....It seems the microchip wasn't working but one in 10 years isn't bad.

Limescale is caused by Calcium Carbonate in hard water coming our of solution and turning back to chalk inside your plumbing. It's what you can't see that does the damage. A layer of scale round your heat exchangers is like having a good overcoat. It actually stops the heat transferring from the heating elements to the water so the cost of heating goes up and up. Immersion heater just can't take it and just blow up. Even your boiler will pack up eventually and the scale in showers and dishwashers etc just adds to the cost of it all.

Who really likes these products. Well we have plumbers and kitchen/bathroom fitters who have been using them for years and really love them. Who hates them...the water softening boys who would prefer to sell you a big softener and then tons of salt.
