"Scale Manager 2" - £3,000 savins in 10 years!
Got a leaflet through my door today advertising Scale Manager 2. Now I
know these electronic descaling devices are disputed whether they work - I personally don't think they do - but what I'm posting about is the practically impossible claims they make. I quote: "For example, a household with a quarter inch (7mm) of limescale using a kettle 5 times a day, 2 x 30 gallon tanks of domestic hot water a day and a washing machine 3 times a week. Over a 10 year period could save a householder in excess of £3,000, assuming an inflation rate of 4% per annum." (then: Energy consumption figures supplied by East Midlands electricity 1996). So - ignoring the inflation bit (which is firstly high, but also I don't think would make a huge difference to this) - they say that you'll SAVE just under £300 per year. "costs may be reduced by 37%". So, they're thinking you spend £1,000 a year (£83 a month) on heating water? Does this sound right to you (not them saving money - but the figures stated). D |
