Why you should avoid consuming too much salt

Have you ever thought about where your salt comes from? We love salt, and we use lots of it for all sorts of purposes. But it comes from afar – and sometimes it's completely unnecessary.

Water softening plants typically uses 1 kg of salt per 1,000 liters of water. Or 80 kg of salt per year in an average apartment that uses 80 cubic meters of water. Or 4 tons of salt in a building with 50 apartments.

LAGUR offers chemical-free water treatment and minimizes limescale problems without changing the natural composition of the water - and without the use of salt.

LAGUR does not emit wastewater, and to reduce CO2 emissions, we produce our plants locally in Denmark.

Salt is not always necessary

We love salt and we use lots of it for all sorts of purposes. But it comes from afar – and sometimes it's completely unnecessary.

For example, you use salt if you reduce limescale problems at home with one of the so-called water softening plants They lower the water hardness levels by removing limescale from the water. In that process they need salt. Lots of salt.

We love salt and we use lots of it for all sorts of purposes.

But it comes from afar, and sometimes it is completely unnecessary.

For example, when we want to get rid of limescale problems and do it with a water softening plants , which uses large amounts of salt.

The path of salt is long, but the path to fewer limescale problems completely without salt and other chemicals is short.

That's what we made this film about.

Salt is transported long distances from

Salt is extracted from mines, salt lakes and evaporated seawater. This happens, for example, in Torrevieja, Spain, which is known for its many flamingos – and for its large production of salt.

From here, the salt must travel on a long journey through Europe. First to a factory that makes the so-called salt tablets. Then the heavy sacks of salt tablets are driven to a warehouse in Denmark, and from here they must be transported to hardware stores and other places where they are to be sold.

The bags of salt tablets must be hauled back to the property, stacked and filled into the water softener. Phew!

A lot of effort is used and many tons of CO2 are emitted to extract and transport salt to water softening plants And it's not necessary at all!

Salt is not used in LAGUR plant

IN LAGUR we also think that limescale in the water can be irritating.

But in contrast to water softening plants Our plant does not use salt – or any other substances, for that matter.

This saves LAGUR not just the environment for saline wastewater from water softening plants We also protect the climate from unnecessary CO2 emissions.
