The hardness of drinking water depends on the concentration of dissolved calcium and magnesium salts. It is the excess of these calcium and magnesium salts that leads to the formation of limescale deposits.

About Hard Water
How to Recognize the Problem?
- Clogging and Rusting of Pipes: Hard water can lead to the buildup of limescale inside pipes, causing blockages and rust.
- Stains and Deposits on Surfaces: White, chalky stains and deposits appear on bathtubs, sinks, and toilet surfaces.
- Dry Skin After Washing: Bathing with hard water can cause dry and irritated skin.
- Reduced Lathering of Soaps and Detergents: Soaps and detergents lather less effectively, requiring larger amounts for cleaning.
Why Can This Problem Be Dangerous?
Hard water is particularly harmful to household appliances and plumbing fixtures. The calcification process shortens the lifespan and reduces the efficiency of this equipment. Over time, appliances affected by limescale consume significantly more water and electricity.
