Natural and healthy water in properties should be a good investment

With a water treatment solution, LAGUR for natural, healthy and tasty water with minimized limescale problems to an increasing number of properties and commercial buildings. It helps owners, investors and developers to align their ambitions for economic and environmental sustainability.

Energy consumption has become a central parameter when building owners and investors today have to consider the potential of both existing and projected properties and the possibility of operating the buildings as gently as possible with due regard for sustainability and biodiversity.

Electricity, heating and ventilation already receive a lot of attention – not least due to world political events and the highly fluctuating energy prices as a result – but the water we enjoy and use in our service and production also deserves much greater focus.

Both users and the installations themselves appreciate minimal limescale problems , but they don't come naturally in a country like Denmark, where the water is generally quite hard – with the exception of a few places, primarily in Jutland.

That is why many residential and commercial properties resort to water treatment to reduce the challenge of limescale in the water.

Fewer limescale problems completely natural

water treatment comes basically in two forms: with and without chemistry. The latter category includes the solution from LAGUR , which specializes in water treatment completely without salt and other forms of chemical addition in the process.

LAGUR is Danish-produced and patented water treatment , which ensures that both residents and commercial users of buildings can enjoy and consume water that is still healthy and natural – but with far fewer limescale problems in everyday life.

LAGUR is suitable for detached houses, townhouses, apartments and commercial properties, and the cheapest water treatment solution is achieved when LAGUR are already taken into account in the design phase.

Responsible water treatment

Today, it has become a premise for owners and developers that a project that incorporates responsible solutions can more easily attract investment and meet banks' loan conditions.

Legal requirements are also being tightened continuously, and certifications and other tools that are intended to promote responsible solutions in construction are becoming increasingly widespread and important.

For example, the new EU taxonomy for sustainable investments means that a fundamentally new classification system has been created that defines when an investment can be characterized as environmentally sustainable.

More sustainable

Developers and investors must also consider the sustainability certification DGNB, which targets both buildings and urban areas. The system is based on the holistic approach to sustainability (UN definition) with the three main pillars: social, economic and environmental sustainability.

That is why architects, consultants and builders are increasingly choosing to collaborate with LAGUR when implementing a water treatment plant , which can help users with limescale problems in a responsible manner.

The environmentally friendly alternative

LAGUR is the environmentally friendly alternative to conventional water softening plants , i.e. ion exchange systems, which reduce the hardness of the water by removing limescale In the process, these descaling systems use salt, thereby increasing the water's sodium content, which we already consume too much of according to health recommendations, and which is also hard on plumbing installations.

LAGUR does not remove limescale , but transforms the structure of limescale from sharp crystals that adhere easily to round granules that adhere to surfaces and installations to a lesser extent.

This facilitates both the cleaning and maintenance of the property's water-borne systems.

Does not emit wastewater

LAGUR consists of a half-meter pipe that is installed after the main water meter and connected to a control unit . The control box in LAGUR PRO for housing associations and commercial properties only use approximately 1 kWh per day.

The effect of a single LAGUR PRO -system installed on the main pipe is sufficient for an entire residential property or several connected commercial buildings.

This means, for example, that a housing association with 100 apartments and a total annual water consumption of approx. 8,000 m3 only uses approx. 350 kWh per year, equivalent to approx. 1,000 DKK per year (depending on the electricity price) to ensure users have healthy and clean water without limescale problems in a more sustainable way – but still with the natural water composition.

For the benefit of the pressured biodiversity in the world's oceans, emits LAGUR nor wastewater – unlike classic water softening plants , which typically emits 3-5 percent.

With LAGUR PRO comes with a 10-year warranty. The system is service and maintenance-free and comes without service contracts or other commitments.

LAGUR is waterproof and can be easily installed on the main water line in a well or main building, so that all buildings on a plot receive healthy, natural water without limescale problems by virtue of the same facility.

Plug and play for nature's sake

Basically, it is LAGUR 's plant for chemical-free water treatment a simple plug and play solution that simply does what it is supposed to do, but which has great potential when the effect of one system is scaled up in complex properties and with a more sustainable water treatment creates benefits for both the users/tenants, for the owners and for society, the climate, the environment and nature.
