Decalcification in the home

On this page, you will learn how to properly descale household appliances and fittings.

Almost half of all buildings in Germany are located in a region with hard (very calcareous) tap water. Household appliances and components of the drinking water installation must therefore be decalcified regularly to ensure that they function properly. It is important to know which devices you can decalcify at home yourself. In some cases, it is advisable to have the descaling carried out by a specialist company in the HVAC sector (installation company), for example when it comes to heating.
