The ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system is a limescale eliminator and hard water descaler that addresses existing pipe scale and prevents new scale from forming. However, if you have hard water stains in your sinks and bathtubs prior to installing an electronic water descaler, you will need to address those. Once hard water stains are removed, a hard water descaler will prevent new stains from forming.

Let’s explore some ways to remove hard water stains from your bathtub.

Method 1: Vinegar and Baking Soda

One way to remove hard water stains from your bathtub is to use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. You will need to mix equal parts of each ingredient in a bowl and then apply the mixture to the affected area with a sponge or cloth. You should let the mixture sit on the stains for at least 15 minutes before scrubbing with a brush or sponge. Once you have scrubbed the area, you can rinse it off with clean water.

Method 2: Lemons

Another effective way to remove hard water stains from your bathtub is to use lemons. You will need to cut a lemon in half and then rub it over the affected area. You should let the lemon juice sit on the stains for at least 15 minutes before rinsing it off with clean water. If necessary, you can also use a brush or sponge to scrub the area before rinsing it off.

Method 3: Commercial Cleaners

There are many commercial cleaners that are designed specifically for removing hard water stains from bathtubs and other surfaces. You can find these cleaners at most hardware and home improvement stores. Be sure to follow the instructions on the cleaner carefully, as some may require you to leave them on for an extended period of time before rinsing.

Once you install the ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system, it will go to work on your water pipes immediately, as it is a limescale eliminator that also prevents new scale from forming. This ecofriendly water softener alternative will also help prevent future hard water stains on your bathtubs and sinks. ScaleBlaster also has commercial/industrial hard water descaling models.

More and more homeowners are seeking an ecofriendly water softener alternative to combat their hard water problems. This shift comes as people recognize the benefits of an electronic descaling system, which is an effective limescale eliminator that also prevents new scale from forming.

We are continuing our series of articles covering some of the hidden health hazards of water softeners. Our previous article discussed how water softeners are not heart healthy and can also be inefficient, especially when compared to a hard water descaler. Today, we will explore more hidden hazards of water softeners.

Bacterial Growth

Another potential health risk associated with water softeners is bacterial growth in the brine tank. The brine tank is where salt is stored for use in the ion exchange process. If it is not properly maintained, bacteria can grow in the high-concentration salt solution and contaminate your drinking water when the unit regenerates (cleans itself). An electronic descaling system does not have a brine tank and does not require ongoing maintenance.

Can Be Harmful to Aquatic Life

Salt-based water softening systems are the most common type of system, and they work by exchanging sodium ions for hardness minerals in the water. While this is an effective way to soften water, it can also have a negative impact on the environment. The sodium that is added to the water can eventually end up in rivers and lakes, where it can be harmful to aquatic life. In addition, salt-based systems require a lot of energy to operate, which can contribute to climate change. A hard water descaler such as ScaleBlaster is an ecofriendly water softener alternative that is not harmful to either humans or wildlife.

If you have hard water issues, then a hard water descaler is hands down the most effective, cost-friendly, and efficient ecofriendly water softener alternative to consider. Not only is an electronic descaling system a limescale eliminator, but it prevents new scale from forming.  Homeowner models of the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler are available in-store at Home Depot and online at Home Depot and Lowe’s.

If you manage a commercial or industrial operation, we have commercial/industrial hard water descaling models available as well. Contact the commercial / industrial ScaleBlaster dealer nearest to you or e-mail sales@scaleblaster.com today!
