Keep using the tablets
Review of Calgon Anti-limescale products by Discerna

Advantages: Washing machine life preservation
Disadvantages: An extra cost to each wash

...so we are advised. Putting a Calgon tablet into the washing machine with each wash is an act of faith. There is no way a consumer can ever know for sure if it was necessary or effective. You need at least 2 washing machines to carry out a controlled experiment. If you steadfastly follow the advice you may still have a need to call in the repair man – and if you ignore it you may still find that you don’t. Such is the lottery of life. But ... Read review

Cheaper than a repair? [Edited]
Review of Calgon Anti-limescale products by tsr2

Advantages: Very effective in removing limescale, requires less washing powder
Disadvantages: Unnecessary in soft water areas, don't use with prewash

...been thickly coated and the Calgon was removing the scale very effectively. As well as being very effective it is also less expensive than it first appears. By removing the limescale from the water it effectively gives you soft water. The instructions state "Dose the quantity of laundry detergent recommended for soft water". For me this saves about 10p per wash and the tablets work out at about 20p each, so the overall cost is about half the purchase ... Read review

definately worth trying Review of Calgon Anti-limescale products by hpearce Advantages: reduces limescale build up Disadvantages: cost ...hard water area so gave Calgon (both the tablets and the boxed poweder) a try. You simply add them with your washing powder in the machine and set as usual. Simple. They help in several ways, they reduce the build up of limescale around the heating element, they reduce the amount of electricity used per wash (due to better efficiency) and they also remove the limescale from any other place in the washing machine - the drum has never looked cleaner!

Calgon Review of Calgon Anti-limescale products by jacksmithdrums Advantages: keeps washing machine workings shiny and new! Disadvantages: cost ...the other reviews left about calgon and realised that previous reviewers may be using more than required! I work for a chain of stores which sell electrical goods such as washing machines (but will keep the company name disclosed) and receive frequent training in product areas. One of the most recent areas i have studied is the essentials section to make sure that my customers get the best out of their purchases at the lowest cost possible and ...

Calgon is a waste of money, IMO Review of Calgon Anti-limescale products by leeh123 Advantages: Potentially extended machine life Disadvantages: You may as well buy a new machine for the cost of using Calgon for a few years Hello. Personally I think Calgon is a waste of money. In my experience washing machines have lasted about 3 years or slightly more, which is right about the tie the extended warranty expires before something goes wrong. If I'd have put the money I've have wasted on Calgon tablets into a jar or some other money collecting device, like a bucket or carrier bag, I could have bought a completely new and modern washing machine. If you want to put that ... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average helpful		helpful 15.03.2009
prevents limescale but so does more detergent. Review of Calgon Anti-limescale products by Nicko25 Advantages: Softens the water so you don't need to use as much detergent Disadvantages: using more detergent does the same job and is still cheaper per wash I used calgon tablets for a year and a half and yes they do soften the water so you don't have to use as much detergent per wash. But they cost 20 pence per tablet. I thought they were worth it at first, but recently read that just by using more detergent you can prevent limescale as most detergents have built in water softeners that help prevent limescale. Using more detergent costs 5-10 p extra per wash, but still costs 10-15 pence less per wash ... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average helpful		helpful 11.01.2007
