How do I work out how much limescale product to buy?

• Note the date of each descaling, machine by machine.
• Record how many days the limescale inhibitor lasts.
• Have your water hardness measured; if the water source changes, start the record again.
• Open a new record when the dosing pump setting changes.

What should I check on the machine before requesting a quote?

• Machine type: The area of use on the START product label is dishwashers. For a household machine, check the product label and the machine manufacturer's recommendation.
• Dosing pump: On a machine with a pump, have the machine service technician make the setting.
• Water hardness: The amount of limescale inhibitor is set from the label according to water hardness; find out the hardness in advance.
