Sodium in drinking water is problematic.
\nIt increases the risk of cancer and heart attacks.
\nDespite this, classic descaling systems (ion exchangers) rely on this chemical process.

Thousands of descaling systems are in use in Switzerland.
\nThey are designed to protect households from unpleasant limescale build-up and create greater convenience.
\nUnfortunately, descaling systems using the ion exchanger method are still used far too often.
\nThey are based on a chemical process that replaces the calcium contained in the water with sodium.
\nThis solves the limescale problem, but the water changes considerably as a result.
\nValuable minerals such as calcium or magnesium are removed from the water. <\/p>\n

\nWhat all these devices [Ionentauscher] have in common is that they remove calcium and magnesium from the water, but add a very considerable amount of sodium instead<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sodium in water is harmful to health<\/h2>\n
If this sodium-contaminated water is used to wash cars or in a laundry, there are no health risks – but the environmental impact is increased.
\nHowever, if this water is used to water plants, the magnesium and calcium deficiency is already noticeable.
\nIt becomes problematic when humans and animals consume this water regularly. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
\nHowever, the consumption of such water is completely problematic for humans and animals.
\nAs we now know with certainty, the depletion of calcium and magnesium leads to a considerable increase in both heart attacks and the risk of cancer. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nArticle in “Die Neue \u00c4rztliche”<\/p>\n

Relying on alternative technologies<\/h2>\n
Ion exchangers may solve limescale problems at home, but their use is harmful to health.
\nThis is why “Die Neue \u00c4rztliche” advises the use of physical descaling systems(such as our ENK Quattro Power<\/a>).
\nThese solve the limescale problem without having a negative effect on the minerals contained in the water.
\nThe water is not decalcified, but the limescale is rendered harmless. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
\nSuch conditioned water therefore retains the magnesium and calcium components that are essential for human health without damaging the pipes.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
