Hard water and limescale in Bristol solar thermal systems

Bristol Water says all the water it supplies is moderately hard to very hard. The rock in its area is mostly limestone, which dissolves and adds calcium and magnesium to the water. For a solar thermal system, that means limescale.

Scale tends to build up where water is hottest. In a solar thermal set-up, that is often the cylinder and the coil inside it. Scale slows the transfer of heat, so the collectors on your roof can be working well while your hot water stays lukewarm.

When we service a system, we check the glycol fluid that carries heat down from the roof, the system pressure, the pump and the controller. We also look for signs of scale and wear in the cylinder. Solar thermal does not connect to the electricity grid, so there is no network paperwork involved. The job is all about keeping heat moving from the roof to your tank.
