Lime in tap water consists of the minerals calcium and magnesium. And this is not uncommon: In Germany alone, millions of buildings are located in a region with calcareous water. While this is good for our bodies, it is bad for pipes, heating, faucets and household appliances. The most common problems caused by calcareous water are:
Lime in water forms persistent deposits, especially in household appliances. These must be removed regularly, otherwise they may be damaged.
Whether in the bathroom or in the kitchen. When water evaporates and lime dries, calcium deposits can often only be removed by laborious scrubbing.
Lime is not only deposited in pipes and equipment. But also on skin and hair. That often feels unpleasant.
The good news: Homeowners can protect themselves from lime. So-called water softening or lime protection systems are installed at the domestic water connection of a building. Lime is treated in this way even before the water flows further into the house. As a result, calcium deposits are efficiently reduced. Our AQON PURE lime protection systems are particularly environmentally friendly and can be easily retrofitted. On request, we can even offer an installation service at a fixed price from one of over 400 specialist companies.
Our solutions for lime in water for domestic water connections have not only proven effective in practice.
The AQON PURE lime protection systems have received several awards from renowned institutions and are regularly mentioned in the press.
Reducing or preventing limescale deposits in your hot water generation system has been proven to save energy. This is because limescale deposits on the surfaces of heating elements have a low thermal conductivity. They act as insulation. As a result, considerably more energy is required to heat water. [1] For example, a 3 mm thick layer of limescale reduces heat transfer by up to 60%. [2] Just 2 mm of limescale leads to a 12% increase in energy consumption for hot water production. [3]
The best thing about our one-year money-back guarantee? 97% of our customers never need it. In the unlikely event that you are not satisfied, you can return your AQON Pure system within 365 days without giving any reason.
AQON PURE limescale protection systems are exceptionally durable. Depending on the product variant, your AQON Pure limescale protection system can be used for up to 10–20 years – with no running costs, no maintenance and no consumables.
