<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Advantages and disadvantages of a descaling system<\/h2>\n<p>In a decalcification system, the calcium (lime) is replaced with sodium from the sodium chloride (salt). <strong>Advantage:<\/strong> It can be measured that there is less calcium in the water afterwards.<br \/>\nWhen the water evaporates, less white, visible limescale remains. <strong>Disadvantage:<\/strong> The consumption of sodium, which is now contained in the water, increases and the consumption of healthy calcium decreases.<br \/>\nIn addition, chloride enters our groundwater via the wastewater and pollutes it.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;6f44263b-428a-4831-8e32-20b1ba469291&#8243;

descaling system are two fundamentally different concepts, but with a common goal: less limescale deposits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.2&#8243;

sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Descaling system is harmful to health and a germ risk<\/h3>\n<p>  Calcium is an important building block for the body and for health.<br \/>\nIn the long term, sodium has negative health consequences.<br \/>\nThis often involves an unfamiliar and unwanted change in the taste of the drinking water.<br \/>\nBecause the water is openly accessible in the salt container, germs and bacteria build up, resulting in costly annual maintenance.<br \/>\nEspecially when descaling systems are installed in warm, humid environments, such as a boiler room or laundry room, the formation of germs and contamination of the drinking water increases significantly.      <\/p>\n<h3>Higher water consumption and environmental impact<\/h3>\n<p>  In addition, the consumption of water required for the weekly regeneration process of the resin increases.<br \/>\nDuring the weekly regeneration process in decalcification systems and ion exchangers, chlorides also enter the wastewater.<br \/>\nDuring wastewater treatment, the chloride remains in the treated water.<br \/>\nThis can enter the groundwater via rivers and streams.<br \/>\nGroundwater contamination by chlorides is very persistent.<br \/>\nAnalysis of the Rhine at Rekingen shows that chloride levels have risen by a factor of three over the past 50 years (source: <a href=\"https:\/\/iksr.bafg.de\/iksr\/lj_grafik.asp?S=0&amp;ME=Reki&amp;KG=CL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/iksr.bafg.de\/iksr\/lj_grafik.asp?S=0&amp;ME=Reki&amp;KG=CL<\/a> [abgerufen am 30.08.2022]).<br \/>\nThe rapid rise in chloride levels also has an impact on the balance of ecosystems in water bodies and damages agriculture.<br \/>\nDue to the negative effects of excessive chloride levels in wastewater, decalcification plants were completely banned in parts of the U.S. and had to be deinstalled<a

rel=\"noopener\">(https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/laws-regulations\/summary-clean-water-act#:~:text=(1972),%20surface%<\/a>        [abgerufen am 1912.2022]).  <\/p>\n<h2>The answer: a limescale protection device<\/h2>\n<p>  With a limescale protection device, you have none of the disadvantages of a descaling system mentioned above.<br \/>\nThe healthy calcium remains in the water and can continue to be consumed.<br \/>\nThe calcium is treated by our limescale protection system in such a way that it temporarily loses its aggressive, crystalline properties when it is deposited.<br \/>\nIn principle, the calcium flows out again with the waste water.<br \/>\nHowever, where the water evaporates, the calcium remains visible.<br \/>\nHowever, this has a powdery structure and can be easily picked up with a damp cloth.<br \/>\nThe disadvantage: because the calcium remains in the water as intended, no change in hardness can be measured.        <strong>With so many advantages of a limescale protection device, the legitimate question then arises as to why conventional salt-based descaling systems are still being used.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Recommendations for descaling systems as a lucrative business<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The need to maintain a descaling system annually and carry out a service is a lucrative source of income.<\/strong>  With our limescale protection devices, which do not require any service or maintenance, this income is eliminated.<br \/>\nThe purchase of salt or the costly delivery is also eliminated.<br \/>\nOf course, not everyone is prepared to forego this income.<br \/>\nThe cost differences of a limescale protection device compared to a descaling system are enormous<a href=\"https:\/\/tratson.ch\/kalkschutz\/kosten\/\">(more about the costs of descaling systems and limescale protection devices<\/a>).<br \/>\nMany homeowners are not aware of the cost difference between the technologies.<br \/>\nNevertheless, more and more future-oriented and environmentally conscious specialist companies are including our products in their range.<br \/>\nPlease contact us and we will be happy to provide you with a specialist dealer in your region.<br \/>\nAs in any industry, there are of course black sheep in our sector who promise the same good result using questionable methods.<br \/>\nAs a result, the results are unsatisfactory and the buyer&#8217;s frustration is understandable.<br \/>\nThis often leads to highly generalized, negative statements that unjustifiably call all products in this sector into question.<br \/>\nTo give our customers the greatest freedom of choice, we offer a 30-day free trial period and a <strong>365-day 100% money-back guarantee<\/strong>. <a

refer to a dissertation submitted to the ETH Zurich, which proves the effectiveness of our technology.<br \/>\nAs you can see, there are many obvious reasons to choose a Tratson limescale protection device over a descaling system.<br \/>\nTake the step towards this clever alternative and take advantage of the benefits our products offer you.
