Why Soften Hard Water?

Hard water contains a high concentration of calcium and magnesium, which is measured in °dH (degrees of German hardness). When water with a high hardness level is heated, calcium deposits, known as limescale, form. These deposits have various negative effects:

Scaling of household appliances: Kettles, coffee machines, and other electrical appliances that heat water are particularly prone to limescale buildup. These deposits lead to poorer heat transfer and increased energy consumption. Over time, they can shorten the lifespan of appliances and impair their functionality.
Taste deterioration: Hard water can negatively affect the taste of tea, coffee, and other beverages. Chlorine and other substances in the water also contribute to an unpleasant taste and odor.
Skin and hair issues: When showering or bathing, hard water can dry out your skin and leave your hair looking dull.

TIP: Protect your home from scaling with a water softening system.

The Filter Technology of Soft Filtered Water

The innovative filter technology of Soft Filtered Water offers a solution to these problems. Here are the benefits of our filter:

Softens your tap water: Even with extremely hard water, our filter effectively reduces water hardness, making it perfect for daily use.
Ideal for household appliances: The filter provides optimal limescale protection, reducing scaling in your appliances, extending their lifespan, and lowering energy consumption.
Improves taste and smell: Our filter reduces substances that affect taste and odor, making it the perfect choice for preparing coffee and tea.
Reduces contaminants: Chlorine, heavy metals like lead and copper, and certain organic impurities are removed by the filter, allowing you to enjoy clean and healthy water.

How the BWT Filter Cartridge Soft Filtered Water Extra Works

The BWT Filter Cartridge Soft Filtered Water Extra is specifically designed for treating water with very high hardness levels (over 15° dH). The filter operates in multiple stages:

Pre-filtration: Coarser particles and impurities up to 200 µm are removed.
Ion exchange: Calcium and magnesium ions, which cause water hardness, are replaced with sodium ions, softening the water.
Activated carbon filtration: Chlorine, heavy metals, and organic impurities are reduced to improve the taste and smell of the water.

Softening Water to Protect Household Appliances

Hard water leaves unsightly and harmful limescale deposits in household appliances. These deposits not only lead to poorer heat transfer and increased energy consumption but also impair the functionality of the appliances and shorten their lifespan. Additionally, limescale deposits encourage the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria.

With the BWT Filter Cartridge Soft Filtered Water, you can protect your appliances and improve their efficiency and longevity.
