YOU STILL NEED LAGUR EVEN IF YOUR WATER WORKS REDUCES THE HARDNESS

It does not change the effect of LAGUR when your water company reduces the hardness, because your water is still hard. If not LAGUR If you reshape the lime, it will still set.

FACTS

THAT'S WHY YOU STILL NEED LAGUR :

Even if your water company lowers the hardness levels, e.g. from 25 to 15 dH, the water is still hard and causes limescale problems .
As LAGUR does not remove limescale , but rather transforms it so that it does not deposit as before, is the value of your LAGUR -system the same, even if your water company reduces the hardness of the water.
LAGUR treats the water without the use of salt and other chemicals, so that the water's healthy properties by virtue of limescale and minerals are preserved.

– – – – –

Several Danish water utilities – especially in Eastern Denmark, where the water here is generally harder – have begun to reduce the hardness of the water.

What does this mean for consumers who are considering or already have a LAGUR -plant? Nothing! The explanation comes here:

As LAGUR does not remove limescale , but rather transforms it, is the value in everyday life of your LAGUR -system the same, even if your water company reduces the hardness of the water.

LAGUR DOES NOT REMOVE LIMESCALE – BUT TRANSFORMS IT

LAGUR does not remove limescale from the water. LAGUR Instead, it transforms the limescale in the water from sharp crystals that easily stick to surfaces and installations, into round granules that do not stick to nearly the same extent and are easier to remove. For example, with a cloth if you wipe the shower regularly.

Therefore, current – and future – LAGUR -customers – don't worry that the local water company will make the water less hard, because there is still plenty of limescale in the water – and the value in everyday life of a LAGUR -plant is the same as before.

WATERWORKS REMOVES limescale WITH THE PELLET METHOD

When water utilities announce that they will reduce the hardness of the water that goes to the consumer, the explanation is typically that the water utilities are implementing the so-called pellet method.

In short, the pellet method softens the water by adding sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and disinfected sand to the groundwater. Some of the lime is bound to the sand grains, which become small lime pellets that sink to the bottom and can be removed. This reduces the lime content in the water that is delivered to consumers.

LESS HARD WATER IS STILL HARD

However, the water in Eastern Denmark is so hard that there is still a long way to go to truly soft water, even if the waterworks lowers the hardness, and as a consumer you will still have limescale problems at home.

So-called “soft water” has a hardness of just 0-8 dH, according to the official international scale Deutsche Härte (°dH). 0-4 is ‘very soft’, 8-12 is ‘medium hard’, and 12-18 is ‘fairly hard’. 18-24 is ‘hard’, 24-30 is ‘very hard’, and water above 30 dH is ‘very hard’.

SEAM LAGUR -CUSTOMER YOU DON'T USE water softening

In Brøndby, where the capital's utility company HOFOR's first pellet plant has been in operation since 2017, the official hardness value as of November 25, 2022 is 10-15 dH. 10-15 dH is a big improvement, but the water is still 'fairly hard', and citizens with tap water in this hardness category know how many limescale problems that can still be in everyday life.

So if you are LAGUR customer, and your water utility recommends that you turn off your local so-called water softening plants based on ion exchange, if the water is to be used for drinking or cooking, you don't have to do anything, because it's not a water softening plants , you have standing.

Only if you have a conventional water softening plants – and is not LAGUR -customer – the waterworks' lowering of hardness levels may cause the salt (sodium) content of your water to exceed the limit value.

LAGUR PRESERVES THE HEALTHY PROPERTIES OF WATER

IN LAGUR On the other hand, we have chosen to treat the water completely without the use of salt and other chemicals, so that the healthy properties of the water by virtue of limescale and minerals are preserved, while the calcium discomfort for consumers is still minimized.

The effect is evident, among other things, in the (lack of) scaling of the heating element in a washing machine that has used water with a hardness of 14 dH, with and without a LAGUR -plant (see photo).
