Every economic citizen knows well that the quality of the water from the crane in many countries of the country is not as much as I would like. Water is too tough. As a result, it becomes the cause of the formation of plaque and sediment in the washing machine. The ill-fated scale in turn increases electricity consumption by 10-15%. You can solve this problem with the help of store softeners of water. However, many owners prefer them "Babushkina Methods". That's what comes out of it.
Here, what the consequences look like.
When citric acid, together with water (and powder), falls into the drum of the washing machine, then there is a chemical reaction. And there is no one single chemical reaction. It can be different depending on the materials of which made drum, water composition, as well as some other factors. Most often, the drums of washing machines are made of aluminum and silicon. They are reacting with acid. The consequences of the use of "grandmother's methods" are always sad.
Nothing good.
The first stage of the interaction of citric acid and the insides of the washing machine is reduced to the destruction of the metal surface with a depth of 1 mm. After that, the cracking of the loaded elements of the machine begins.
Note : In the first stage of the car, it will still work and despite the appearance of cracks, it does not seem to tell the owner of the emergence of problems.
Metal turns into a duch.
The second stage of the interaction of citric acid and the internally of the machine gradually brings the cracks and the destruction of the metal surface to critical indicators. Most likely, urgent repairs will be required in such a situation. The third stage is actually not found, because it lives a rare washing machine. However, its masters were achieved in laboratory in order to clearly demonstrate the effects of lemonic acid. The result of the seal - the metal actually turned into a duch.
Important : At alloys used to produce the drums of washing machines, an extremely low fatigue rate. As a result, the "tired" drums begin to easily break even under the action of the most minor loads.
Masters advise so not to do.
Professional masters repairmen strongly recommend using citric acid (and any other handicapped additives) during washing. The repair of the washing machine will always be guaranteed more expensive than saving on a special store. It is important to understand that this is not at all advertising or anti-advertising, but an objective reality.
