Best Water Heater for Hard Water

• Hard Water
• The water is considered hard if it has a large
  proportion of calcium, magnesium, and other
  minerals dissolved in it. This means that high
  mineral content makes the water hard, which can
  damage your geyser internally as well as
  externally if you dont have the best water
  heater for hard water installed. You can measure
  the hardness of the water in parts per million
  (ppm). If the water is between 60-120 ppm, it is
  moderate. If it is beyond 120 ppm, it is hard.
• How Hard Water Damages the Geyser?
• Hard water could be one of the reasons why you
  need to replace your water heat er. Heres how
  hard water can affect your geysers health
• It can cause scaling Hard water can cause
  scaling in your water heater. Due to this, the
  thermostat may cease to function. Besides this,
  scaling could also hamper the heating efficiency
  of the water heater. This means that your geyser
  would take longer than usual to heat even a small
  quantity of water, leading to higher electricity
  bills. Sometimes, scaling could even lead to a
  complete failure of the heating element.
• It causes corrosion Hard water can ruin the
  geyser tank through the tangible parts
  corrosion. Salty water or excessive chlorine
  content in the water can deteriorate the surface
  coating leading to
• tank leakage and tank corrosion. This could
  severely affect the health of the geyser.
• Increases electricity bill Hard water takes a
  long time to heat. This means your geyser would
  have to run for longer to heat the water. This
  entire process leads to higher electricity bills.
• It can lead to sedimentation in your water
  heater When hard water is heated, it leaves the
• mineral residue on the tanks surface in the form
  of sediments. As a result of this, your water may
  make a rumbling sound every time you switch it
  on.
• Factors to choose Geysers for Hard Water
• Energy Efficiency If you are looking at buying
  a new water hea ter, then one of the features
  that the best electric geyser for hard water
  would have is energy efficiency. Pick a geyser
  with a higher Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)
  star rating. Ideally, a 4-star or 5-star rated
  product can optimize energy usage and positively
  impact your electricity bill.
• Tank Quality A glass-lined tank is better than a
  metal-lined tank. In the case of hard water, this
  will prevent corrosion, thereby increasing the
  life of the geyser. You must also buy the geyser
  from a

3. Opt for geysers with corrosion-resistant
features If you live in a hard-water-prone area,
then it is best to choose geysers that boast
corrosion-free bodies. Look out for features that
protect the tank and healing element from
rusting. Cro mpto ns Amica storag e water heat
er comes with a specially designed sacrificial
anode rod which has a stainless steel core that
is designed to protect the inner tank from
corrosive elements.
