Linking Legionella, Hard Water & Limescale

In this article the industrial water specialists at Water Treatment Services investigate the link between legionella, hard water and limescale; asking the question… does hard water increase the risks from Legionella bacteria both at home and in the workplace? The guide explains what hard water is and how it can cause problems in water systems, where it can be found in the UK, if the build-up of scale or limescale increases the risks posed by Legionella bacteria, and what can be done to control its impact.

Water softener regeneration

Water Softener Regeneration Guide

Regular water softener regeneration is an essential process required to maintain the effectiveness of ion-exchange resins used to soften hard waters. In this guide the pre-treatment specialists at Water Treatment Services examine the need for softeners in commercial, industrial and process applications. The guide looks at how the ion-exchange process works, and the stages required to complete a full regeneration of the resin media. It reviews the benefits of base-exchange softening and concludes with a brief review of equipment selection and pre-installation issues.

Why use a water softener?

The build-up of scale from hard water sources can cause a number of serious and potentially costly problems in many commercial, process and industrial applications, these can include:

  • Reduced performance & increased energy consumption

    As scale accumulates on internal heat transfer surfaces it acts as an excellent insulator, reducing both heat transfer and cooling efficiencies.

    This can reduce plant performance significantly and lead to significantly increased energy costs.

  • Increased maintenance costs & reduced equipment reliability

    As scale accumulates internal surfaces become constricted and coated in scale reducing flow rates and impacting reliability and life expectancy of equipment.

  • Equipment Damage

    If left untreated scale can build-up on the internal surfaces of pipework, boiler tubes and other heat transfer surfaces.

    Under certain circumstances this unwanted accumulation of scale can cause boilers and pipework to overheat, and in extreme circumstances catastrophic failure can result.

Where are industrial water softeners used?

Our industrial water softening systems and commercial water softeners are used anywhere where medium to hard water conditions exist i.e. where the local water supply contains higher concentrations of calcium and magnesium salts. Such hard water conditions can cause the unwanted scaling of industrial and process equipment including:

  • Cooling towers & air conditioning systems

  • District & central heating systems

  • Industrial boilers & steam generating equipment

  • Reverse Osmosis pre-treatment plant

  • Industrial & process water applications

  • Heat exchangers

  • Hot water heaters

  • Steam ovens

  • Dishwashers & washing machines

High performance commercial water softeners

Contact Water Treatment Services today to discuss your water softening and water quality management requirements. Our specialist water softeners and water engineering support and delivery capabilities allow us to offer a comprehensive range of services including the design, installation, operation and maintenance of commercial softeners suitable for most industrial, commercial, manufacturing and process applications.

With offices in London serving the South and South East England, Manchester (North West), Birmingham (Midlands), Bristol (South East England and Wales), Leeds (North and North East) and Glasgow (Scotland), supported by regional teams of specially trained engineers, in-field water management specialists and technical experts we can offer professional, cost effective commercial and industrial water softeners and engineering support services across the whole of the UK.

Water softeners - All about water softening

Water Softeners – All About Water Softening

Water softeners are special pieces of equipment that help to soften water, and are especially useful in hard water areas. If you live in a hard water area and go on holiday to an area with softened water, you will notice a significant difference. Softened water makes it easier to shampoo your hair – with very little shampoo needed. It creates lots of bubbles in your bath, with very little bubble bath added. You’ll also notice far less scale in your kettle and in taps and pipework.

In this guide the pre-treatment specialists at Water Treatment Services examine the need for softeners in commercial, industrial and process applications. The guide looks at how the ion-exchange process works, and the stages required to complete a full regeneration of the resin media. It reviews the benefits of base-exchange softening and concludes with a brief review of equipment selection and pre-installation issues.

Why use a water softener?

The build-up of scale from hard water sources can cause a number of serious and potentially costly problems in many commercial, process and industrial applications, these can include:

  • Reduced performance & increased energy consumption

    As scale accumulates on internal heat transfer surfaces it acts as an excellent insulator, reducing both heat transfer and cooling efficiencies.

    This can reduce plant performance significantly and lead to significantly increased energy costs.

  • Increased maintenance costs & reduced equipment reliability

    As scale accumulates internal surfaces become constricted and coated in scale reducing flow rates and impacting reliability and life expectancy of equipment.

  • Equipment Damage

    If left untreated scale can build-up on the internal surfaces of pipework, boiler tubes and other heat transfer surfaces.

    Under certain circumstances this unwanted accumulation of scale can cause boilers and pipework to overheat, and in extreme circumstances catastrophic failure can result.

Where are industrial water softeners used?

Our industrial water softening systems and commercial water softeners are used anywhere where medium to hard water conditions exist i.e. where the local water supply contains higher concentrations of calcium and magnesium salts. Such hard water conditions can cause the unwanted scaling of industrial and process equipment including:

  • Cooling towers & air conditioning systems

  • District & central heating systems

  • Industrial boilers & steam generating equipment

  • Reverse Osmosis pre-treatment plant

  • Industrial & process water applications

  • Heat exchangers

  • Hot water heaters

  • Steam ovens

  • Dishwashers & washing machines

High performance commercial water softeners

Contact Water Treatment Services today to discuss your water softening and water quality management requirements. Our specialist water softeners and water engineering support and delivery capabilities allow us to offer a comprehensive range of services including the design, installation, operation and maintenance of commercial softeners suitable for most industrial, commercial, manufacturing and process applications.

With offices in London serving the South and South East England, Manchester (North West), Birmingham (Midlands), Bristol (South East England and Wales), Leeds (North and North East) and Glasgow (Scotland), supported by regional teams of specially trained engineers, in-field water management specialists and technical experts we can offer professional, cost effective commercial and industrial water softeners and engineering support services across the whole of the UK.

Water softeners - All about water softening

Water Softeners – All About Water Softening

Water softeners are special pieces of equipment that help to soften water, and are especially useful in hard water areas. If you live in a hard water area and go on holiday to an area with softened water, you will notice a significant difference. Softened water makes it easier to shampoo your hair – with very little shampoo needed. It creates lots of bubbles in your bath, with very little bubble bath added. You’ll also notice far less scale in your kettle and in taps and pipework.
