It contains fairly large concentrations of calcium and magnesium. In themselves, these substances are not harmful to health, in the right dosage they are even healthy. However, an excess of lime in the tap water has a detrimental effect on the operation and lifespan of countless household appliances and on your daily comfort. NO MORE HARD WATER contact us Water with a lot of calcium and magnesium is called hard water and that hardness is expressed in ° F (French degrees): soft water ranges from 0 to 15 ° F, between 15 and 25 ° F we speak of hard water and everything above 25 ° F can be labeled as hard to very hard. We don't think about it too often, but the following figures do give you food for thought. A family of 4 uses an average of 150 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. With hard water, 45 to 60 kg of lime flows annually through the pipes and appliances. Over a period of 20 years we are talking about more than 1000 kg of lime! The excess of lime in tap water affects about 80% of all Belgian households.
