Remove limescale from tap water

Everyone knows it and everyone hates it at the same time: lime! In many areas in Germany, Austria and Switzerland there is a lot of lime in the water. This means that the water hardness is very high. Below we will explain to you what limescale in water means and how you can avoid it.

The problems with limescale in the water

If the water contains a lot of lime, this creates many problems and disadvantages in the household. Hard water causes limescale soap to form when washing. This means that the washing power of the detergent decreases significantly and more detergent has to be used. The savings in detergent when using soft, lime-free water compared to hard, lime-containing water can be up to 50%.

In the bathroom, limescale appears almost everywhere where water flows, especially in places where warm water is needed. In the shower, the walls and shower head quickly become full of limescale deposits. The limescale deposits can only be removed with extensive cleaning. This usually requires harsh acids or cleaning agents.

Kitchen appliances such as the coffee machine are also affected by limescale in the water. The coffee machine should be descaled regularly with acetic acid. The kettle too. According to some experts, the taste of tea and coffee is best with soft water. With lime in the water, the full aroma of the coffee cannot develop.

The solution against limescale in the water

With a decalcification system , all limescale problems can be solved in one fell swoop. The descaling system is installed in the domestic water network directly after the water meter and water filter. This means that the entire house water is descaled. The advantages of soft water usually significantly outweigh the running costs for the decalcification system. Especially if the water hardness is over 14° dH.
