Will LAGUR solve all my limescale problems?

No, all your limescale problems won't be completely solved. For better or worse.

Because while you still have to clean and descale every now and then, just much less often than before, you can also enjoy all the benefits of chemical-free water treatment , which preserves the taste and healthy properties of the water.

Make a visible difference and make cleaning a breeze

Many homeowners who invest in a water treatment plant, do so to get rid of limescale deposits fixtures and on fittings and tiles.

Imagine not having to scrub the bottom tiles in the shower stall all the time, where stubborn limescale builds up again almost before you know it!

When you're tired of the wear and tear of limescale from hard, untreated water, getting a water treatment plant feels like a whole different world.

The visible difference is enormous, and cleaning suddenly becomes a breeze.

But no matter what water treatment plant , you choose, you still have “uninvited guests” in your home – just on a much smaller scale than before.

Only if you treat your home like an iron and run demineralized water into the installations will you have a home completely free of traces of limescale and all the other organic substances in the water that can leave visible traces in the home.

Thus, there are advantages and disadvantages to all water treatment plant . Also LAGUR .

But it is our firm belief that LAGUR is the best form of water treatment .

When descaling is necessary anyway

Some of our customers are surprised when they suddenly need to descale their shower head.

We understand them well. In the past, they might have descaled their shower head several times a year, but now they have had LAGUR for four or five years and has become accustomed to hardly needing descaling.

However, as it is known, LAGUR does not remove the lime from the water. That is not our intention. Put simply, LAGUR changes the form of the lime from sharp crystals to round granules, so that the lime does not adhere to surfaces and installations to the same extent and is easy to remove.

But if you don't do something to dry and clean your shower area, you won't be able to avoid the occasional tiny speck of dirt settling in here and there. limescale deposits , which can build up over a long period of time, making descaling necessary again.

LAGUR GIVES "MEMORY LOSS"

Other customers who are wondering about the need to remove limescale , believe that their LAGUR -plants have become less efficient. But with less LAGUR -If the system is directly broken, it always has the same effect on the water.

The explanation is more psychological: the new situation has become normal, and the old situation has faded from memory. If you were confronted with your bathroom as it looked before investing in LAGUR, it would be clear that the limescale that now needs to be removed is very limited compared to the nuisance you once had.

This kind of “memory lapse” is very human.

Not only limescale leaves traces

But there are other parameters for the quality of the water in our homes than limescale .

Classic water softening plantremoves limescale from the water. The price for this is an increased sodium (salt) content, which can be extremely challenging for pipes.

And homes with water softening plantmaystill experience white deposits on tiles.

Not only because of the residual limescale in the water, but also as a result of the increased sodium content in the water.

Magnesium, other minerals in the water, bacteria, soap residue and body fat also accumulate and become visible traces in the shower, almost no matter how diligent you are with cleaning.

And then there's the taste. In Denmark, we're spoiled with being able to drink fresh, clean tap water straight from the tap. But the good taste is largely due to the lime, and not everyone likes the more solid taste in lime-reduced water.

DOCUMENTED EFFECT

To document the effectiveness of our systems, we have had certified institutes test our environmentally friendly water treatment solution in various contexts.

For example, a test conducted in 2020 by the Danish Technological Institute showed significantly less limescale deposits on the heating element in a washing machine that used LAGUR-treated water than in a machine that used untreated water.

Architects, consultants, and other construction professionals can request the studies from LAGUR. Please feel free to write to us at kundeservice@lagur.dk.

Natural tiles require grease

Another factor is the surface of your tiles. Most types of tiles have closed surfaces and are easy to keep clean, regardless of the type of water treatment plant you use.

Do you use LAGUR , the part of the lime that is not rinsed out will settle as fine dust on the surface, where it can be easily removed.

If, on the other hand, your bathroom is decorated with natural tiles – for example, Italian natural slate – the situation may be different, and here you may be challenged with cleaning, no matter what. water treatment plant you have.

Do you use LAGUR , the lime will be so small that some of it will inevitably settle in the small craters on the surface when the water evaporates, and it can be difficult to get it back up.

If you use a water softening plant, it will not only be limescale, but also the increased sodium content and other substances from the water that settle in the craters and are difficult to remove.

If you have natural tiles, you should expect that neither a water softening plant or a LAGUR plant can save you from a good old-fashioned cleaning with elbow grease, a stiff brush, and soap.

The kettle is buzzing

There is one place in your home where you can see that there is still limescale in the water when you use LAGUR: at the bottom of your electric kettle.

The more you heat the water in the kettle, the more it precipitates. limescale , which is bound in the water. This happens exponentially from 60 degrees and up.

If you have very hard water, a layer of limescale will eventually form at the top during heating, as long as the water is hot.

When the water cools down, much of the limescale settles. Today, the bottom plate of a regular electric kettle is a heating plate. When you reheat the water, it will limescale , which has once precipitated and has not been rinsed out, melts into the bottom plate, which becomes hot up to 120 degrees.

In an old-fashioned electric kettle with a spiral at the bottom, you typically won't see the same phenomenon.

Here, the limescale also settles, but will lie below the spiral and will not rise when you heat the water again.

This is exactly how washing machines and dishwashers work. In them you use new water every time, but in an electric kettle, where many consumers reuse the water for environmental or cost-saving reasons, the limescale will typically accumulate.

If you're into it, you can always leave a centimeter of water in the bottom of your kettle and let it cool down.

Before using the electric kettle again, pour out the water and empty it thoroughly so that you start with completely new water, where all limescale is still bound.

LAGUR for better or worse

So no, LAGUR does not remove all your limescale problems. For better or worse.

There is still some work to be done, but not nearly as much as before you got your LAGUR plant.

Now you can enjoy easier cleaning, appliances and installations with a longer lifespan and healthy drinking water with unchanged content of limescale and minerals for the benefit of your body and your teeth.

All in all, it's like having a lime-free home with a water softening plant, except that LAGUR uses no chemicals and does not remove the beneficial properties from the water.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does LAGUR do to the limescale?

LAGUR changes the form of lime from sharp crystals (calcite) to rounder granules (aragonite), so that the lime does not bind to surfaces or installations – and you experience fewer limescale deposits without removing the lime from the water.

Does LAGUR completely remove limescale?

No – the limescale remains in the water as natural minerals. However, as the structure changes, it does not form hard deposits and is easy to wipe away.

Does LAGUR change the taste of the water?

Not at all. The water's original taste and mineral balance are fully preserved because the limescale is not removed.

How exactly does the technology work?

A combination of electromagnetism and a special patented method transforms the crystals and fixes their new structure in a treatment pipe installed directly in the water flow.

Does LAGUR work on all types of water pipes?

Yes. Because the treatment tube sits inside the water flow, it works regardless of the material of the pipes – plastic, copper, steel, etc.

What is the difference between LAGUR and water softening?

Ion exchangers remove limescale and increase the sodium content in the water, while LAGUR changes the structure of limescale and preserves minerals and taste without increasing the sodium content.

Do I actually experience fewer limescale deposits ?

Yes – users report significantly easier cleaning of surfaces and appliances. However, we recommend that you still scrape and dry your shower enclosure – it makes it even easier to keep limescale deposits down.
