How to remove scale

We drink water every day, or use electric kettles, or electric water boilers, and you will find that there will be a layer of scale on the surface over time. Scale is very harmful to the body, so do you clearly know the harm of scale? This is a problem that we must solve, so how should we remove scale? Let's follow the editor to see what solutions there are.

1. The harm of scale

1. The harm of scale-causing cancer

Scale can easily cause gastrointestinal digestion and absorption disorders and constipation, and increase the incidence of gastritis and various types of stones. Tartar and periodontitis are often caused by scale and can be fatal. Legionnaires' disease, for which there is still no vaccine, hides in scale and kills 2,000 to 3,000 people in France every year.

2. The harm of scale-excessive heavy metals

When water is heated, some scale will precipitate and some will dissolve, which will bring the precipitated heavy metal ions back into the water, causing the content of heavy metal ions in the water to exceed the requirements of hygiene standards. In this way, scale will not only cause various stone diseases, but also cause diseases of the digestive, nervous, urinary, hematopoietic, circulatory and other systems and cause aging. Long-term intake can cause heavy metal poisoning in the human body, and many heavy metals can cause cancer in human organs.

3. The harm of scale--affecting normal metabolism

Washing your face or taking a bath with water containing scale will form calcium-magnesium soap, which is sticky like colloid and sticks to your face and skin, making dirt difficult to remove. If dirt is not washed away, it will clog the openings of the skin glands, forming embolism, affecting normal metabolism and causing the skin to shrink and age prematurely.

2. How to remove scale

1. Descaling with vinegar

If there is scale in the kettle, you can put a few spoons of vinegar into the water and boil it for one or two hours, and the scale will be removed. If the main component of scale is calcium sulfate, you can pour pure alkaline solution into the kettle and boil it to remove the scale.
