Descaling devices are a miracle cure for hard water, but they are also appliances and are subject to malfunction. The good news is that most of your best water descaler problems are straightforward to identify and repair, so you can get back to basking in the glory of soft, clean water in no time. To that end, what are the most typical causes of failure for your best water descalers, and how can you remedy them? What if we look more closely?
Neither the power nor the warning light is working.
Water descalers rely on electricity to function, so if yours won’t turn on or its light isn’t glowing, start there. First, ensure that the appliance is plugged into a working outlet. Next, ensure no frayed or damaged wires are in the device’s wiring.
Lessened efficiency
The ineffectiveness of your water descaler may be to blame for the limescale buildup and other difficulties associated with hard water that you have been experiencing. Debris accumulation on the electromagnetic coil is a common cause of diminished effectiveness. If this happens, wipe down the gadget with some water. To ensure the descaler is still effective, you should check the water hardness occasionally.
Rust stains and unpleasant odors
Your water descaler isn’t the best option if you’ve noticed rust stains or unpleasant odors in your water. Descalers help prevents limescale buildup but won’t solve problems caused by rust, bacteria, or other water contaminants. Water filters and other water treatment systems are options to consider.
Incongruous Noises
Problems with the water descaler’s wiring or components could be the cause of any unusual noises it may be making. The sooner this problem is fixed, the less damage and risk there will be. If you need help, you should contact the maker or a professional technician.
