There are numerous advantages to investing in a water softener. The ten most relevant arguments are listed below and explain why investing in a water softener from Frei AquaService AG is the right decision.
The most important reason why customers decide to install a water softener is definitely the general reduction in limescale deposits. As limescale deposits are now very limited, this makes cleaning work easier. The interval between the need for cleaning work in the household is also significantly extended.
As the softened water still has a water hardness of 10-12 °fH, limescale deposits will of course continue to occur. But in a very reduced form. However, much less cleaning agent and detergent is required to remove the remaining limescale deposits. The direct result of this is cost savings in the long term.
As the treatment of softened water takes less time and therefore energy, this also has a positive impact on energy consumption. Energy consumption can therefore be reduced, as can the associated costs. In addition, softened water can also have a positive effect on household water consumption.
Softened water reduces the wear and tear on household appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers and kettles and therefore has a positive impact on their service life. Experience shows that household appliances can last around 30 to 50 % longer with limescale-reduced water than without a water softener. However, this value depends on various factors such as water hardness, appliance type, duration of use, etc.
Softened water also protects pipes and fittings by reducing limescale deposits and preventing corrosion (through the use of a dosing system). A water softener can therefore help to keep them in good condition and increase their service life.
Expensive repairs and replacement parts caused by limescale damage can be prevented by installing a water softener.
Softened water has a less irritating and drying effect on the skin and hair. This means that installing a water softening system can also do something good for your own body. Incidentally, it is not recommended to soften water to 0 °fH (i.e. no limescale in the water) for private use, as the human body requires a certain limescale content for muscle and bone health. In addition, limescale-free water would make it much more difficult to get shampoo out of the hair and off the body.
Water containing limescale can cause stiffening, fading and discoloration of clothing and textiles. Reducing limescale therefore also reduces these risks, which is why clothing and textiles remain soft and cuddly for longer.
Many people are not aware that the use of softened water for drinks such as tea and coffee also leads to a better taste. This is because limescale is also a flavor carrier that becomes much less dominant when using a water softening system to prepare drinks. The result is an improved tea and coffee result - almost like from a barista.
Some of the arguments already mentioned have a direct impact on reducing our CO2 footprint. Investing in a water softening system from Frei AquaService AG is therefore not only good for your wallet, but also for the environment.
