Die vielleicht bekannteste Lösung Deutschlands bei Kalk im Wasser

Perhaps Germany's best-known solution for lime in water

December 14, 2023, 7:41am | Reading time: 2 min

Almost every second house in Germany is affected by very calcareous (hard) tap water.

The probability that your household will be affected by lime problems is therefore high. The result: lime on fittings and surfaces, calcified pipes and heating. While you can still descale household appliances yourself, this is not the case with pipes and heating. However, damage caused by lime can quickly become expensive here. A family company from southern Hesse offers an innovative solution for this. We explain why the product is worthwhile for homeowners and how you can obtain a non-binding offer — including an introductory offer with free & non-binding planning of the installation options in your house.

The solution: A retrofittable water softening system against lime problems, which is installed directly at the house water connection

In order to reduce lime problems in the house, so-called water softening systems or even descaling systems are installed directly at the house water connection. Lime is treated in this way even before the water flows further into the house. The company Aqon Pure offers a particularly environmentally friendly solution. This innovative lime protection system works without salt, is maintenance-free and does not incur any running costs. It is available for a single-family house starting at 1,490€ and has a useful life of up to 20 years. Aqon Pure even offers an installation service at a fixed price starting at 285€ from one of over 400 master companies.

Innovative & environmentally friendly plant receives multiple awards

Aqon Pure has received several awards for its innovative and environmentally friendly solution. Even the well-known science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar presented an innovation prize. 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. Focus and Financial Times also honored the company as the fastest-growing company in 2024 in the water treatment sector in Europe.

Specialist companies recommend AQON PURE for lime in water

Specialist companies in the plumbing and heating sector are also impressed by the technology. Aqon Pure now works with over 400 companies in Germany alone. Uwe Scholz, managing director of Friedrich Lindhorst GmbH from Achim, confirms: “Aqon Pure has proven to be a very good problem solver for calcareous drinking water. The uncomplicated technology and compact size of the device are absolutely advantageous. The installation is simple and very quick. ”

And Roland Müller, heating engineer at Roland Müller Heizungsbau in Sulzbach, reports: “I have been working with Aqon Pure since 2018 without any complaints about the product. My first-time customers are still convinced of the effect of your product, even though it's already out of warranty. I have a privately operated system on a very lime-rich water network, with an actual measured 27° German hardness. ”

Conclusion: An environmentally friendly product that saves money

Homeowners who live in a region with calcareous (hard) tap water will definitely benefit from the Aqon Pure lime protection system. Because it is not only lime problems that are significantly reduced and damage prevented: Compared to a conventional water softening system, Aqon Pure is cheaper to buy and operate. We have presented the most important costs of the new Akon Pure lime protection system for a single-family home compared to a classic water softening system with salt:

and without the water being filtered out. Today I screwed the strainers on the taps for the first time. I was easily able to rinse off the few limescale particles under running water. Nothing more was necessary. Cleaning the shower and bath, including the joints in the tiles, is also much easier. I hope that many people choose this environmentally friendly, healthy, and affordablesolution. The customer service was quite good, and installation went smoothly, at a fixed price by a local specialist.

the white ceramic again with a little brushing. Completely without using harsh cleaning agents. The system itself is completely integrated in water pipe system and therefore barely takes up any additional space. Visually even an eye-catcher, as the surface is made of high-quality brushed stainless steel. All in all: finally less cleaning or scrubbing! And that after just a few days of installation. Now after 4 months of installation, the weekly use of anti-calcifying agents in the household has been reduced to zero.
