Softening plant or water treatment for lime-free homes

By Michael Bredahl Leave a Comment

4.33/5 (6)

It is annoying, time and time again, to have to descale the coffee machine, change gaskets in the toilet, because the water runs and many other nuisances that come from lime in the water.

I think everyone dreams of being able to get water without lime, and then maybe most people have a reluctan vote to mess too much with our delicious water that’s pumped straight up from the underground.

We can boast of having some of the world’s cleanest water, a little yet. Because no one has quite mastered what the many decades of emissions of manure and weed control in the fields will really have an impact on our future water.

I hope, of course, that we can still just pump the water out of the underground and use as drinking water.

Did you know that all the water works do is oxygenate the water and filter it through a sand filter?

We drink our own groundwater, it is controlled for that hazardous substances are below minimum values, but otherwise the water plant simply oxygenates the water, and filters it in a sand filter before it is sent to our taps.

It is called a simple water treatment and it makes there a lot of good substances in the water that are healthy to drink.

It’s pretty impressive.

Abroad treats water more

We are privileged that our water is so healthy, because in other countries they cannot settle for a simple water treatment. Here they are talking about an advanced water treatment.

In many places in the world there is not enough water in the underground, so that uses the surface water from lakes, or from sources.

The water from surface stores is dirty and needs to be filtered for much more, including bacteria, viruses, animals and plants. It’s actually quite disgusting to think about.

Everything is removed here, so if there is to be minerals in the water afterwards, it is something that needs to be added, i.e. completely artificial water.

What about salt water as drinking water?

When we talk about water shortages, why don’t we just use salt water? There’s plenty of it, and it’s just the salt that needs to be removed!

It is quite possible, it is just so energy intensive that it does not pay if there is just the shadow of another option.

But places where it is not possible to extract enough water from groundwater or surface, there are actually plants that, with reverse osmosis, turn salt water into drinking water. Or drinking water is so much said, for it is almost distilled water, without anything, not taste either.

Well, it’s possible, it’s just expensive.

Limestone genes

One of the things I could be besides is the lime in the water. Or that is, I think so. For lime every year is the reason why we need to use harsh cleaning products, change perlators in faucets, or at least clean them, and clean everything that comes into contact with the water.

This is also the reason why water pipes sometimes stop completely and need to be replaced.

If only we could have a lime-free home.

But we can!

Several products have come on the market to treat the water and fix our lime problem.

Unfortunately, not everyone is equally environmentally friendly, or gentle on our precious drinking water.

Softening plant

In a softening plant, chemistry, typically salt, is used to chemically process the water and remove lime. Unfortunately, a softener also removes the good substances that are in our delicious groundwater. It’s not so good.

Studies have shown that when the lime is completely removed from the water, we get worse teeth unless we make up for the lack of calcium in the water, and eat extra calcium, or drink more milk.

On the other hand, a chemical softener abolishes the lime, making cleaning easier, the coffee maker does not need to be descaled, and the perators do not need to be changed.

What is a perlator, you probably think?

Gentle water treatment

Instead of using chemistry, I advocate a more gentle water treatment. Electromagnetism is used here to pulverize the lime, so you don’t completely avoid lime, but it is in powder form, and significantly easier to remove.

At the same time, the water retains its good taste and all the minerals, lime and iron contained in the groundwater are preserved.

For example, you can choose a solution from Lagurthat processes the water without chemistry.

LAGUR® converts lime into powder – from crystalline form to granulated form – which is ready to wipe with a cloth. What actually happens is that electrical frequencies convert the lime in your system from calcit to aragonite. It is a known physical process that changes the calcium from triangular calcium crystals to formless calcium crystals
