Limescsle build-up in hot water cylinder outlet tube.

by Photon

The build up of lime-scale within the copper outlet pipe/tube at the top of my hot water cylinder. The outlet tube was originally 19 mm inside diameter (I/D) approx. The resultant escape hole measured approximately 8mm x 6mm, after approximately 27 years use. Thus a cross sectional area reduction of 83%, approximately! See my earlier, closer end view of the crystal growth.
