It helps if your water is hard. If the water is not hard, then do not use it as often.

NO, Calgon is an expensive rip off. I live in a hard water area and it did not prevent me having to buy and install a new heating element. I have now bought an electronic '' in line'' water softner that is very cheap and easy to install and a darn sight cheaper than Calgon. Go to any good plumbers merchant for the water softner.

Not sure I have not tied and tested it for the simple reason being when I want to descale my kettle I use washing powder so I never did get the whole calgon thing if washing powder can remove the scale????

According to a friendly repair man, Calgon can form hard lumps in the machine.....he said he had to chip it out with a srewdriver. I use Washing Soda......superclean machine.

Any softener will help your washer last longer, since the water will be less aggressive.

Ive heard that from a scientist (well he was wearing a white coat). If its says it on the tin it must be true.
