Protection of the washing machine against leaks and leaks

The washing machine is a real time savior. Do not boil the laundry in tanks, soak clothes in basins, wash under the tap in the bathroom. It is enough to put things in the car, grouped by color, according to the type of material, choose the mode suitable for them, press the "Start" button. Without your active participation, after an hour and a half, or even faster, you will get clean underwear, which will only hang. The time saved on washing can be spent for reading of the favorite book, or to spend for merry games with the kid, or to look with the second half an interesting film.

But, unfortunately, for a washing machine, as for any other device, it is impossible to create ideal working conditions. At first glance, it may be all right. The floor under it is perfectly flat, the socket is grounded, all the hoses are connected correctly. Made like everything for the long operation of the machine without breakage and leaks. But time passes, and your device begins to function differently, as before, or even fails.

You are at a loss, because the washing machine was operated in accordance with all the rules. The master comes and says that a large enough layer of scale has formed on the heating element (heating element) of the device to prevent its normal operation. As a result, you pay for the repairman's work, as well as the replacement of the heating element.

Is it possible to somehow avoid a similar situation? Is the washing machine reliable? Fortunately, yes. As you know, scale in washing machines is formed because of the so-called hardness salts, which are magnesium and calcium salts. They have the property of being deposited by heating the liquid to high temperatures on the surfaces, forming a hard coating. To avoid breakages, you need to soften the moisture before it gets into the device. There are several ways to do this in a domestic setting. Let us dwell on the most popular ones.

Magnetic main-line softener.

In the former USSR, this method of treatment of liquids drew attention in the 60s of the 20th century. A number of experiments were conducted with the help of which scientists wanted to prove that water, being exposed to a magnetic field, acquires special properties. Allegedly, the concrete implicated with her participation is stronger than usual, watering with such moisture ensures super crop of any crops, cows give more milk. And, most importantly, it seems like the magnetic treatment deprives the salt of hardness of their properties to be deposited in the form of a plaque on the surfaces.

Magnetic main softener is a small metal device of a cylindrical shape, inside of which there are two permanent magnets. They create a field through which the liquid passes. Such devices are installed directly on the water main.

Manufacturers of magnetic main softeners say they know how to protect the washing machine from leaks and scale. Devices by the word of their manufacturers improve the quality of water, neutralize the hardness salts, without using any chemical compounds, energy. There is no more environmentally friendly and cheaper way to combat the bloom. At the same time, there are opponents of magnetic treatment. They refer to the fact that the effectiveness of this method has not been scientifically proven.

What do customers say? Some people are crazy about devices, praise them and actively use them to soften water, not only for washing, but also for dishwashers, for boilers and other equipment. Others do not notice the difference before and after using the softener, do not see in the device the meaning, the protection of the washing machine from scale in such cases is provided by other methods.

Special filter with polyphosphate backfilling.

If softening with the help of magnets raises doubts in connection with the lack of evidence base, then the effectiveness of special filters with polyphosphate backfilling is scientifically proven.

The device is a small plastic transparent container, in which there are sufficiently large crystals of polyphosphate salt. It is installed between the tap that blocks the water supply to the machine and the filling hose. The liquid, passing through such a filter, partially dissolves salt crystals. This solution envelops the salts of hardness and prevents them from forming plaque. In addition, the moisture in which the polyphosphate salt is dissolved, in contact with the TEN, forms a protective film on it, which does not allow the magnesium and calcium salts to fix themselves.

The filter has, as we already mentioned, a transparent casing, which makes it possible to see how much backfill it has in it, and whether it's time to fill it with a new portion of salt crystals, which, by the way, is in free sale.

Feedback on his work is only positive! Sorry about buying a filter with a fill from polyphosphate salt did not have to anyone. It perfectly performs the functions assigned to it, it is convenient and easy to use, it is inexpensive. You reliably protect the washing machine, neutralize the negative impact of the hardness salts on the heating element of the machine, warn it of breakdown and leakage of the machine. Things will be erased as much as possible qualitatively. You will only have to enjoy their cleanliness and their free time.

Modern water filters work wonders!
