What is Limescale?

Limescale is a hard chalky substance consisting mainly of calcium carbonate. It often builds up inside kettles, boilers and pipework, especially for hot water. Apart from limescale being hard to clean it can seriously damage or impair the operation of various plumbing and heating components. For every 1mm of scale built on a heating element, an extra 10% of energy is required for it to function. Which is why it's important to replace your filter regularly.

Changing your INTU Pro filter is easy and quick to do. All you need to do is to make sure you have turned off the cold water supply, switch out the old filter and twist in your new filter.

This video below shows the potential build up of limescale within the tank if the filter is not replaced when required.
