Lime in water: Almost half of all German homeowners are affected

There are over 19 million residential buildings in Germany. Almost half of them are in a region with particularly calcareous (hard) water. The result: Hard to remove calcium deposits on surfaces and fittings, broken household appliances, calcified kettles, coffee makers, etc., as well as a dry feeling on skin and hair.

Traditional softening systems: follow-up costs and salt in water

Until now, homeowners have often had a conventional water softening system with salt installed in such cases. Although such systems soften tap water, they also release sodium into the water and should be serviced annually by a specialist company for several hundred euros.

New softening system without salt reduces lime problems in an environmentally friendly way

The German technology company “AQON Pure” from Hesse has developed a new plant to reduce lime problems without salt. This is a so-called lime protection system, which prevents lime from depositing on surfaces. No salt is required in the company and there are no follow-up costs. The high quality of drinking water, as provided by the local supplier, is maintained.

Company receives multiple awards for new plant

The company has received several awards for its innovative and environmentally friendly solution. The well-known science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar recently presented the renowned TOP 100 Award. This makes AQON Pure one of the most innovative medium-sized companies in Germany. In previous years, AQON Pure was awarded the Hessian Founder Prize and nominated for the German Design Sustainability Award. The press has also already reported on the new lime protection system.

For a single-family house, the new system is available from just under 1,800€ - including installation. Installation is even possible retrospectively, saving space at the house water connection within 1 hour. The system can be installed by the company's own installer, or by one of over 400 master companies with which the company works nationwide.
