Limescale increases your energy consumption for water heating

With LAGUR do you reduce it limescale in pipes and on heating elements, which would otherwise increase your energy consumption for heating the water in your home.

LAGUR reduces limescale in your pipes

The gain of a LAGUR -systems are not limited to the easier daily cleaning and the longer life of your installations and white goods, because you minimize the limescale , which settles.

You also save on the energy needed to heat the water in everything from the washing machine and hot water tank to the electric kettle on your kitchen counter. At the same time, you utilize the heat more efficiently if you use district heating.

There is a clear correlation between limescale and energy consumption.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN limescale AND EXTRA POWER

A rule of thumb says that a limescale coating of 3 mm will typically increase power consumption by 25 percent.

This applies, for example, to the heating element of the hot water tank if it is heated with electricity, but it also affects electrical machines in the home such as washing machines and electric kettles.

limescale CHALLENGING MACHINES

The more limescale , which is on a heat exchange surface such as a heating element, the more challenged the machine is in delivering heated water.

If the kilowatt price is 4 kroner, 3 mm means limescale on the heating element in a washing machine, meaning that a wash, which the machine normally uses one kilowatt for, increases in price from 4 kroner to 5 kroner because the machine has to use 25 percent more electricity to heat the water.

AN EVIL SPIRAL

In addition, it sets limescale on the heating element in a vicious spiral. When the limescale starts to settle, the machine has to work harder.

This means that the heating element remains hot for longer than normal and thus attracts even more limescale .

After a few years, the heating element may have grown completely limescale , so it might use 50 percent more power.

There is a clear correlation between limescale and energy consumption.

KEEP YOUR DISTRICT HEATING BILL DOWN

But LAGUR can also save you an extra bill for energy consumption if you use district heating.

The heat that is not transferred to the water via the heat exchanger is returned. But your district heating plant wants you to cool the water as much as possible before sending it back, and you may even be penalized with an extra bill if your return heat is too high.

When you cannot utilize the district heating water well enough to heat your home due to limescale deposits, the so-called return temperature becomes too high, and you will be charged an additional fee on top of your district heating bill.

You can also significantly reduce it or remove it completely by selecting LAGUR .
