Do tankless water heaters work well with hard water?
Lime scale has a tendency to build up in the water lines when the water is hard. This inhibits the maximum performance of the tankless water heater over time. We recommend that hard water is softened or filtered. A code (1L) will display on your Paloma/WaiWelas digital remote, indicating the need to descale the tankless water heater. We sell the Un-Clog-It Kit to remedy the lime scale buildup and we strongly recommend descaling your unit as scale builds up in the water lines.
