WHITE ON BLACK

White deposits in modern black wet room environments are difficult to avoid, and they are a good opportunity to explain how LAGUR works.

Fashions change, and right now it is fashionable to have black fixtures, sinks and tables in the kitchen and bathroom.

But it also means that limescale and other minerals in our water become easier to spot.

If the surfaces are also made of natural stone such as slate or marble or are uneven for other reasons, the likelihood of white deposits increases when the water has dried away - regardless of whether you have water treatment plant or not, and regardless of whether you use LAGUR or other water treatment solutions.

A GRAIN OF LIME: ONE THOUSANDTH OF A MY

This may surprise some consumers who have invested in a water treatment plant and unconsciously associates something white with it limescale , they want to be free from.

We can't blame them for that.

But a grain of lime measures only 0.001 micrometers, which is equivalent to one thousandth of a millimeter, and neither LAGUR or a conventional water softening plants removes the limescale from the water in a way that can avoid this.

CRACKS AND OTHER DEPRESSIONS

LAGUR affects the lime so that it changes shape from sharp crystals that stick easily to round granules that are easier to remove, and water softening plants only removes part of the limescale. The remaining limescale is just as troublesome to deal with in cleaning as before.

limescale will always settle into any cracks and depressions, and it will stay put unless it is removed by hand or chemicals. In addition, salt and other minerals in the water cause visible deposits.

In other words: if you use black in the kitchen and bathroom, you expose your home to the marks that water will naturally leave.

THE CHALLENGE WITH BOTTOM PLUGS

But the challenge is not limited to natural stone, because many sink drain plugs are not made of the same material as the sink.

They are typically surface-treated with a powder alloy or chromate coating, so they may look like the sink, but when magnified, their surface is very uneven – like a lunar crater, some would say.

It is an invitation to limescale and minerals, and in many homes, the drain plug, which is typically located just below the dripping faucet, is where deposits of limescale and minerals are most evident.

THE WHITE MAY ALSO HAVE TRACES OF SODIUM (SALT)

Even when you put in the effort and wipe the drain plug with a cloth, you won't get deep enough to completely remove the minerals - even when LAGUR Otherwise, it works perfectly as intended and makes cleaning all other surfaces much easier than before.

For consumers with a conventional water softening plants , which, in contrast to LAGUR removes some of the limescale from the water, the problems with white spots can even get worse because these systems use sodium (salt) in the process, so the water has a higher sodium content.

For these consumers, the white deposits in the black sink are not necessarily limescale , but salty.

REMEMBER TO DRY!

With that in mind, the best advice we can give consumers, whether they use water treatment or not, and whether they use LAGUR or not:

Remember to wipe the drain plug and other surfaces you care about while they are wet so that the water does not have time to dry and so that the minerals in the water do not have time to settle.
