Does it remove lime/calcium?

All our cartridges filter limescale.

Calcium is a mineral that is not considered a pollutant and has known health benefits.

Many people still ask how descaling/reducing works. The simple definition of water hardness is the amount of calcium and magnesium dissolved in water. Hard water contains high amounts of dissolved minerals. When hard water is heated, for example in a household water heater, solid calcium carbonate deposits can form.

There are basically two methods to prevent limescale formation:

A) Remove calcium and magnesium ions from water to prevent calcium and magnesium carbonates from forming.

B) It prevents calcium and magnesium ions from forming calcium and magnesium carbonates.

Method A: Most water softeners and jugs

For example, softeners using ion exchange resins replace calcium ions with sodium ions. Therefore, the water becomes salty. Softeners generally separate calcium and magnesium ions from wastewater.

Method B: TAPPWater

Our patented anti-limescale forms a complex with inorganic contaminants and prevents them from forming hard limescale, stains, etc. prevents it from forming. Coffee pots, kettles, water jugs, etc. It forms a protective layer of insoluble mineral lime.

The positive side is that calcium and magnesium are not depleted and the water does not taste salty. On the downside, there may still be some white particles/bubbles in the water due to calcium and magnesium ions.
