Alternative water softening systems

Do you have hard water that causes limescale buildup, and are you tired of seeing deposits on your faucets, shower edges, or sink? Are you tired of having to scrub up to 2 times a week to remove those white stains? Does your water irritate your skin, and are your clothes getting increasingly stiff?

So you've decided to get a water softener, and you're making the right choice!

However, perhaps you find salt-based water softeners too expensive or too bulky? Fortunately for you, there are alternatives!

Scalex

Scalex is a salt-free hardness reducer. It can stop the growth of limescale crystals, breaks them down into smaller sediment particles, and prevents them from sticking together.

Available in 2 versions, one for washing machines and one for water heaters, Scalex can prevent limescale buildup in your appliances, allowing you to keep them in good condition longer. Say goodbye to rough laundry and appliances clogged with limescale, and hello to appliances that stay efficient over the long term!

But Scalex does more than maintain your household appliances: it will also allow you to save up to 30 % on electricity consumption thanks to your cleaner appliances!

Plus, Scalex is very compact, easy to install, and inexpensive!

But as you've probably gathered, Scalex is installed upstream of your appliance and therefore only works locally, on the appliance you want to treat. It cannot be used to soften all the water in a house.

Advantages of this device:

  • Scalex can filter up to 20,000 liters of water before the filter needs to be replaced. Enough to last at least 6 months!

  • It contains no (poly)phosphates

  • It protects your appliance from limescale

Decal

Here's another alternative to a salt-based water softener!

Decal is a hard water treatment system that uses neither salt nor chemicals.

It is an electromagnetic system that you can install around your piping.

With DeCal, your main water supply pipe is wrapped in a coil of metal wire carrying an electric current to produce a magnetic field that alters the crystalline structure of calcium and magnesium carbonates, eliminating the possibility of limescale formation. It therefore changes the shape of limescale crystals to prevent them from causing scale buildup in your pipes and household appliances.

What makes Decal stand out is that it is very easy to install and use, and requires no maintenance!

Plus, it produces no wastewater!

So if you don't want to buy a system that requires maintenance and salt or resin replacement, either because you're afraid of forgetting or because you don't want to deal with it, then Decal technology is for you!
