Electric water boiler

These minerals, predominantly calcium carbonate, tend to settle at the bottom of the reservoir as the water is heated.

Additionally, the accumulation can impair the efficiency of the unit, as the sediment acts as an insulating layer, hindering the transfer of heat.

To address sediment buildup in electric water boilers, descaling agents such as vinegar or citric acid are commonly used.

These substances effectively dissolve and remove the accumulated minerals, restoring the boiler's performance and eliminating any associated odors.
