Find out now about inexpensive water softening systems without salt, such as the AQON PURE lime protection system.
If the tap water in your region is calcareous, you are probably already aware of this. Especially in kitchens and bathrooms, unsightly chalk stains appear on faucets and flows after showering or washing. If these calcium deposits are not removed regularly, they can build up over time. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult to thoroughly clean the surfaces. Lime can also cause problems in less visible areas within your water supply system:
If you want to determine the exact degree of hardness of your water, this can usually be found on the website of your water supplier or municipality. Alternatively, you can do a water hardness test yourself. If you decide to obtain an offer from AQON PURE, we will do the job for you: Simply enter your address and we will find out the degree of hardness of your water for you.
The Hardness level Tap water differs from region to region. Chalky or “hard” water starts at 14 degrees of German hardness (dH). But even with medium-hard water (between 10 and 14 dH), a lime protection system can be useful. If you want to reduce the amount of lime in your pipes, there are different types of descaling systems. Which water softener you buy depends on your personal preferences. Detailed information about the different water softening systems can be found on our website.
With these water softening systems, so-called ion exchangers, the lime in tap water is combated with salt tablets. Lime consists of calcium and magnesium. When the salt tablets dissolve in water, these minerals are replaced by sodium. This reduces water hardness and reduces calcium deposits in pipes as well as on household appliances and surfaces.
Disadvantages of an ion exchanger may be the increased sodium content in the water caused by the salt tablets. In addition to the costs of purchasing and installing the salt plant, there are also running costs for the salt tablets and maintenance. Especially in a household with high water consumption, this can be a decisive reason against purchasing a water softening system with salt. In addition, the sodium content in water can reach the legal limit during ion exchange, especially if the drinking water in your region already contains a lot of sodium. This is especially important when using tap water to prepare infant formula. Here you can find more information about the potential Disadvantages of water softening systems with salt.
An alternative to ion exchangers is Lime protection systems, which change the lime in water using seed crystals. During seed crystal formation, microscopically small lime crystals are formed in water. These crystals serve as an accumulation point for the lime, which is already in the water. The crystals settle less on surfaces and are washed away with the lime in the water.
Since the lime in the water is retained, lime protection systems such as AQON PURE are therefore not classic water softeners - but they are definitely cheap for use in one to four-family homes. These systems eliminate the purchase costs for salt; you only have to pay for the system itself and the installation. In addition, the Lime protection Better for food and the environment without salt: There is no increased sodium content in drinking water, the minerals calcium and magnesium are retained in the water.
