Why Nicosia homes get this: Nicosia's hard water (high calcium carbonate content) causes accelerated limescale buildup in water heaters and immersion systems, and solar hot water systems on Cypriot rooftops add heat-exchanger and circulation-pump failure points. Being inland, Nicosia avoids the coastal salt-corrosion of Limassol or Larnaca, but the extreme summer heat stresses pressurised systems and the older walled-city building stock carries aged pipework. Cyprus licenses plumbers through the Ministry of Energy (Α/Β/Γ class).
