Limescale removal at home: two solutions against limescale




Not all limescale in water is the same – and the right limescale protection should suit your living situation. That’s why we offer two clear approaches: local and budget-friendly decalcification with kitchen water filters, or a central water softening system installed at the mains connection, keeping limescale out of your pipes in the first place.

Limescale in your tea? Streaks on glassware? Coffee machine not working? Then it’s time for a water filter at your tap. Our kitchen filter systems remove limescale and other impurities before they reach appliances or food. Whether you rent or own your home – this solution is ideal for households that value flavour, protection and convenience.
And it suits any budget! Our Slim filter jug is available at a low price, and even our reverse osmosis systems are affordable.

Looking to protect your entire home from limescale? Then a domestic descaler water system is the perfect choice. These devices remove limescale at the main connection – before it enters your pipes, appliances or taps. Ideal for detached houses and homeowners – especially if you’re planning a new build. But not just then! As with most things: better late than never. Discover Ecosoft’s reliable domestic water softeners now: a smart investment – and one that pays off in the long run, even for your wallet.

Why choose Ecosoft?

Why is calcareous water a problem?
Limescale forms when hard water is heated – for example in kettles, coffee machines, boilers or washing machines. These deposits can damage appliances, reduce energy efficiency and even clog your pipes.
-
How can I find out how calcareous my water is?
You can request water hardness information from your local water provider. Alternatively, use test strips or measure it yourself with a digital hardness meter.
-
Which is better: central or local limescale removal?
That depends on your living situation: In rented flats or smaller households, kitchen filters are a quick and affordable solution. For property owners – especially with several water outlets – a whole-house softener is the better long-term approach.
Your budget also plays a role: installing a central system is a larger investment. But it filters out limescale, chlorine, heavy metals and other impurities before they enter your plumbing – not just when the water reaches your glass.
-
How often should a water filter cartridge be replaced?
Our filter cartridges last between 3 and 12 months – depending on model and water usage. For whole-house softeners, you’ll need to regularly refill the regeneration salt.
-
Is lime free water healthy?
Limescale in water isn’t harmful to health – but it’s inconvenient. Our reverse osmosis systems remove limescale while re-mineralising the water with calcium or magnesium – for a well-balanced, pleasant drinking experience.
