Limescale is part of life in some parts of the country,
which is why we do all we can to help Quooker owners to tackle this
successfully. Thankfully, homes in much
of the UK don’t have to face this problem, but in some areas, calcium and
magnesium salts in the water do cause limescale to form.
Despite being well aware of the harm that limescale can do
to steam ovens, washing machines, dishwashers, irons and a host of domestic appliances,
including the Quooker, water authorities have still not invested in the
technology needed to filter out limescale before it reaches end users.
The good news, on the other hand, is that at Quooker we do
take this issue seriously and have formulated a number of solutions for
dealing with limescale build up. The simplest solution is to install a Quooker limescale
filter which removes the limescale before it can reach the Quooker tap – which
is what we wish water suppliers would do. This simply needs replacing from time to time
and can be retrofitted, so you can add a filter even if your Quooker was
installed some time ago.
The design of the Quooker makes keeping it clear of limescale as straightforward as we can make it. The famous removable aerator, which is what helps to keep the 100°C boiling water from scalding, can be unscrewed and removed for regular local cleaning, keeping it free from limescale build up. The Quooker tank, which is designed to keep water under pressure so that it is always delivered as truly boiling water, also ensures that any limescale that does collect is accumulated all in one place for easier removal. Some of our rivals allow limescale to collect in multiple locations – which makes them more difficult to keep free of limescale.
Quooker offers three options for fuss-free limescale control:
- Clean it yourself. A competent DIYer can easily carry this out, using the free cleaning kit that we’re happy to give you every time you need to descale your Quooker.
- If you aren’t a DIY fan, then our limescale filter is probably your best option. Simply clip off the old cartridge when it needs changing and clip on a new one in minutes.
- If you’d prefer, we can descale and service your Quooker for you. Just call 0207 9233355 or email info@quooker.co.uk and we’ll arrange for one of our skilled engineers to do it for you.
Any one of these options will ensure that you can enjoy your
Quooker for many years to come. For more

The Drinking Water Inspectorate’s national hard water map allows you to look up the quality of your domestic water
supply. If you do live in a hard water
area, your local water provider’s website should also have information to help
you.
