Limescale can cause some  problems when it builds up on plumbing fixtures and appliances.    Let’s look at some of the ways limescale can be harmful.

In fact, it can cause a restriction in water flow, as limescale can  build up in pipes and reduce water flow,  making it difficult to use showers, faucets, and other plumbing fixtures.

Not to mention that lime can give water a metallic taste or unpleasant smell, making it difficult to drink or cook with. As a result, lime buildup can make water less healthy, as  it can contain bacteria and other unwanted substances.

In short, limescale can cause problems with water quality and quantity, as well as damage plumbing systems and appliances.

To prevent these problems, it is important to properly treat the water or  use distilled or demineralized water.
