There are several forms of water softening plants for private individuals

More and more Danes want to reduce limescale problems at home and have a water softening plants private. LAGUR differs significantly from the others by not changing the water chemistry.

TWO WAYS TO FERRY limescale problems

More and more Danes want to come limescale problems in the home for life. The solution is to have a water treatment plant , which can affect the lime content of the water.

But what is water treatment , and why is it actually completely misleading that water treatment plant , which are installed privately, are collectively called water softening plants ?

Basically, you can only follow two paths if you want to reduce your limescale problems : A chemical pathway and a non-chemical pathway.

Chemical water treatment reduces the water content of limescale by involving chemistry in the process, while non-chemical water treatment in the form of LAGUR simply changes the shape of the lime from sharp crystals to round granules, so that it sticks to surfaces and installations to a much lesser extent.

It is this characteristic that makes LAGUR unique among the possibilities within water treatment .

LESS limescale = MORE SODIUM

It is crucial for LAGUR that we maintain the status and quality of Danish tap water as an easily accessible, top-class food. Water quality should not be degraded just because we want to be free from it for selfish reasons. limescale problems .

Chemical water softening reduces the content of limescale and magnesium, while the sodium content increases. As a result, many of the water's qualities are lost in the softening process.

When we instead simply change the physical state of the lime, we can maintain the same amount of minerals and fluoride in the water to benefit our teeth and overall health.

HARDNESS SHOULD NOT BE REDUCED UNLIMITEDLY

To what extent chemical water treatment plant , which is installed privately, reduces the water's content of limescale , depends on the natural hardness of the water and on how many degrees of hardness the system removes.

Chemical water treatment does not necessarily soften the water – it primarily reduces the hardness, depending on what the system is set to.

Every time you lower the hardness of your tap water by 1 degree of hardness, the water's sodium (salt) content is increased by approximately 8, and since in Denmark we do not want sodium content higher than 160, there is a recommended limit to how much the homeowner can reduce the water hardness.

water softening plants IS NOT A COVERALL TERM

In Denmark, these systems are marketed as “ water softening plants ”, while the German manufacturers of the same system describe the process that takes place a little less elaborately as “Wasserenthärtung”, which can be translated into something like “water hardness reduction” in Danish.

It would also be much more comprehensive for the variety of systems, but probably not as marketable and colloquial, if we mentioned the water treatment plant , which are installed privately, for "water hardness reduction systems" instead of water softening plants .
