4 Reasons Why Green Homes Need Limescale Protection.. 💦 1. The clearest one is limescale building up on elements increases energy costs. 1mm of limescale causes 7-10% increase in energy costs. 2. Equipment repair and servicing schedules are increased. For example, boilers might need repairing once a year in hard water areas compared with once every 3 years in soft water areas. 3. Equipment failure. Similar to the above but this time the whole boiler, shower etc is condemned and replaced. 4. Cleaning chemical usage is increased where limescale is untreated. Chemicals need high levels of carbon to create them. www.aquabion-uk.com #aquabionuk #waterconditioner #limescale #green #hardwater

How to stop Utility Firms from scarring our streets and pavements. The re-instatement is often done using materials (because it is cheaper) that is different to what was there before and the residents are left with an ugly hotch-potch of different surfaces, that they have to live with,day to day, for evermore. This is not accptable. Utilities should be made to replace like with like or be heavily fined. https://lnkd.in/eSkCWz8f via @conhome

Something to consider? Steel? Electricity? Nearly 1/2 million jobs? Time to start working with all the options to service our needs perhaps? Sometimes lost in the debate around coal is the constant demand for steel to make 'renewable' energy possible. Wind turbines, solar panels, hydro-electricity cannot exist without coking coal to make steel. If we stop coal mining, we forego renewables. I think we are smarter than this. Let's look at the complete picture Australia, not just the vision of some parties with a vested interest in one subset.
