Will Filtersorb SP3 media descale my existing lime scale build up on toilets, shower/tub enclosures, faucets etc.?
Because there is not direct water flow across these surfaces, other than water splashing, the old scale has to be removed manually using lime removal cleaners. Any new accumulation will wipe of easily. If you use a dishwasher and replace a salt based softener with Filtersorb you may notice some calcium spotting on glassware. This will diminish to the residual level of the calcium present in your water supply when the descaling is completed. In the interim add a half cup of household vinegar to the rinse cycle to eliminate a short term spotting problem. You should switch to a phosphate free dishwasher detergent and reduce your soap usage to the level you used with salt softener. During the de scaling period flush your water heater for about five minutes once a week. Once de scaling is completed your water heater will be more energy efficient and last longer. Additional benefits with Filtersorb are 50% less soap and detergent use and best of all not having corrosive sodium in your water.
