Hard water and limescale?

Aquaphor solutions that really work

In many areas of Italy, tap water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium. This condition is known as hard water.

Over time, it can cause several problems at home:

● limescale in kettles and coffee machines
● appliances that wear out faster
● white stains on faucets and glass
● worsening water taste

Fortunately, the problem of hard water and limescale can be reduced with an adequate filtration system.

The solution mainly depends on the type of home.






5 signs of hard water in your home

1️⃣ Limescale in kettles or coffee machines
Appears quickly.
2️⃣ White stains on faucets or showers
One of the most common signs of hard water.
3️⃣ Dull glasses
Remain marked even after washing.
4️⃣ Frequent descaling
Appliances require more frequent maintenance.
5️⃣ Less pleasant taste
If you recognize these signs, the water in your area is likely rich in calcium and magnesium.



1. Rental property

If you rent, it is often not possible to install under-sink systems. The most practical solutions are those without installation.

Filter jug

Aquaphor jugs with MAXFOR+ H and A5H cartridges help to:

● reduce calcium and magnesium
● improve water taste
● decrease limescale in kettles and coffee machines
Advantages
● no installation
● no plumbing work
● easy to take with you when you move house

Faucet filter

The Aquaphor Modern faucet filter connects directly to the kitchen tap.

It uses B200H cartridges, designed to reduce calcium salts and limit limescale formation.

It is a practical solution when filtered water is needed immediately, without complex installations.





2. Apartments

When water consumption is higher, it may be more convenient to install an under-sink system.

The most suitable systems are Crystal H and ECO H Pro.

These systems:

● reduce water hardness
● eliminate chlorine and heavy metals
● improve water taste and odor




Maximum water purity

To achieve the highest level of filtration, there is reverse osmosis.

This technology removes up to 99.9% of impurities, including:

● bacteria
● viruses
● heavy metals
● chlorine
● organic substances

For apartments, the following are ideal:

● RO-70S
● RO-101S
● RO-102S

The systems are installed under the sink and provide high-quality water for drinking and cooking.





3. Detached houses and villas

In detached houses, hard water affects the entire plumbing system.

The most effective solution is a complete water treatment system.

Pre-filtration
Viking Pro filter to remove sand and rust.
Water softening
S550, S800, and S1000 softeners to reduce hardness.
Final filtration
GROSS 20 filter with cartridge up to 5 microns.

For drinking water, a reverse osmosis system is recommended:

● RO-101S
● RO-102S
● RO-202S

These systems guarantee high-quality water for drinking and cooking directly from the tap.
