Pump Parts Help

[poobear]

I am buying another new used house in hua hin anh have these two silver pipes running off the pump and not sure what they are.

Any idea? Thanks

possible these are scale reducer

They look like electrolytic limescale inhibitors...

 

 

The lifespan of limescale inhibitors depends on various factors.

For one, these inhibitors come with different manufacturer-recommended lasting durations.

Some can serve you for ten years. Others last for half that time, some two years, while some only stay one year.

Beyond these recommendations, the hard water area you stay in significantly impacts the effectiveness of limescale inhibitors.

Typically, water hardness gets measured based on the concentration of metals like magnesium and calcium.

For example, if you get supplied with excessively hard water (180 mg/L), you will need to change your inhibitors more often than someone in an area with soft water.

And soft water is usually from zero to 60 mg/L.

thanks I will have to take a closer look at these and see if there is any markings on them.

I wonder if to they work well?

 

Anyone else use them?

 

Odd set up, be better not to have 90 degree turns and just put it on straight, less strain on TV the pump.  Try to have as little turns as possible.

 

Enjoy your new house, Hua Hin is Wonderful!

I had totally no idea what they where, but after finding out they are scale reducers doesn't say much for the area below them. (Hint: Hard water - chalky white)

The house 

 

i am moving out of a house that has very hard water that plays havoc on the facets water heaters toilets ect. My only suggestion for the people buying is to hook up to the town water right next to the house (pranburu) that has a much better reputation. This house i am moving into has none of same extreme symptoms of the level of hard water I have been dealing with so hopefully it won 't be my next new problem.
