Excuse me for asking, but are you (a) very skinny, (b) very mean or (c) very skint?

Why bother? Doesn't seem to affect the working of the kettle or its life.

It affects both - scale is a significant insulator so you'll increase both time to boil and the operating temperature of the element.

And they're sharp? I've met people like you, when the "yellow stickers" come out...
No, she's just an ordinary-size Border Terrier; I think it's a perspective thing, because her paws are so close to the camera? Mind you, she's only nine weeks old, and is growing by the minute.

By the amounts talked about in costs for descaling?
Think you guys believe the Calgon ads too...

Surely the extra insulation on the body reduces heat loss? And where does the energy from the element go if not into heating the water?

It has to go into the water and won't affect the boiling time (as long as scale thickness

In a 'traditional' immersed element, yes. But in a more modern flat element? Surely (some of) it can go through the bottom of the kettle.

Sorry, yes, absolutely. What I said only applies for a fully immersed element. Ones in the base are rubbish from this point of view. They are better overall for efficiency though, as they allow the boiling of only the water you need and the benefit from this (if used properly) would far outweigh the advantages of being fully immersed.

Go live in Hull, then time your time to a cup of tea both before and after descaling.
If you're good, we might let you out of Hull afterwards 8-)
