Softened water offers many advantages for you. Less detergent consumption, no limescale deposits on electrical appliances such as boilers or kettles, etc. For these reasons, it is often worthwhile to install a softening system in the house.

The advantages for you

• no limescale deposits in the sanitary facilities, the pipes and the hot water processors (e.g. boilers)
• Effect throughout the household: soft laundry, noticeably softer skin after bathing or showering, clear taste of tea and coffee
• Low operating costs of only approx. 2-5 € per month, which already pay off through savings on detergent and fabric softener, for example
• No new purchase costs for calcified devices (e.g. kettle, coffee machine, boiler, etc.) necessary
• High energy savings when heating your water (even 1 mm of limescale causes 15% more energy)
• Saving time and effort by eliminating the need to clean calcified areas (e.g. in the shower)

Environmental benefits

• Savings on: detergents and harsh cleaning agents, dishwashing salt, descaler for hot water appliances
• Energy saving when heating up
• Relieving the burden on the sewage treatment plants
• Relieving water pollution
• There is no need for fabric softener in the washing machine

Health benefits

• no change in the original water quality due to natural ion exchange
• The human body's calcium requirements are not affected by this reduction, since the mineral present in water as CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) is not important for the organism's mineral requirements
• Easier digestibility of legumes
• Protection of sensitive skin, improvement in skin diseases, among other things by avoiding unaesthetic lime soaps
• We strictly observe the provisions of the Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkV), the EC Directive on the quality of water for human consumption, the Ordinance on General Conditions for the Supply of Water (AVB Wasser V), the Food and Consumer Goods Act (LMBG) , DIN 19636 (equipment testing standard) and DIN 1988 (technical rules for drinking water installations)
