How much does boiler stone cost?
- 1 mm of stone → +7% energy consumption
- 3 mm stone → +25% energy consumption
- Cleaning the exchanger: PLN 2,000–10,000
- Replacement of a damaged boiler: PLN 15,000–80,000
How does tablet salt prevent stone formation?
An ion exchange softener powered by tablet salt removes Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions before entering the installation. Soft water below 8°dH practically does not form scale.
Return on investment calculation
A plant that uses 2,000 m³ of water/month at a hardness of 20°dH saves on energy PLN 15,000-30,000 per year. Cost of tablet salt: approx. PLN 3,000–5,000/year. ROI: less than 1 year.
