Water hardness is a measure of the lime content of the water and is caused by calcium and magnesium salts. The water hardness for so-called hard water is given in degrees of hardness.
A German degree of hardness (1 ° dH) = 10 mg calcium oxide per liter of water,
A German degree of hardness (1 ° dH) = 10 g calcium oxide per m³ (= 1,000 liters) of water.
Water hardness in German degrees of hardness:
0 – 4: very soft
4 – 8: soft
8 – 12: medium hard
12-18: pretty hard
18-30: hard
> 30: very hard
From what water hardness should a water treatment system be installed?
To protect your water household appliances, e.g. washing machine, coffee maker, kettle, etc., fittings, to achieve the lowest possible cleaning effort for bathroom, shower, kitchen, toilet, etc. or to achieve a lot of savings, enjoyment, pleasure, more free time, we recommend installing the maintenance-free Waterfit water treatment including wellness from 8 degrees German water hardness and have many years of best experience with Waterfit up to approx. 33 degrees German water hardness.

Do you have to treat the tap water chemically or with salt, resin, etc. at home?
No, water is the most strictly controlled food. The water from your water supplier, mostly the municipality, the water supply association or similar, complies with the strict food regulations. Because your water supplier must regularly check and prove the perfect water quality of the water supplied. Your tap water will therefore reach you in pristine condition. It is therefore not necessary to chemically alter your tap water.
Is hard water a sign of poor drinking water quality?
No, hard water is rich in essential minerals such as calcium / lime and magnesium and is therefore very valuable. The Waterfit water treatment including wellness preserves these valuable minerals. See also below.

Hard water is not a sign of poor drinking water quality, on the contrary:
Natural water (spring water or groundwater) is usually rich in minerals, especially calcium and magnesium ions. These minerals are important for building bones and teeth. Calcium / lime is not only needed to prevent osteoporosis / bone loss, but the lime in the water is also important for blood clotting. Magnesium is especially important for muscles and nerves. Such a type of healthy drinking water from the aqueduct also saves costs and effort when buying mineral water and other beverages. The lime in it is responsible for the taste of the water. Hard water tastes better, with low water hardness values the taste of the water is perceived as rather bland.
Higher water hardness has a health advantage, but leads to higher soap consumption and stronger limescale deposits:
The harder the water, hard water lime
– However, the more limescale deposits occur in pipes, lines, various water-carrying household appliances, e.g. in washing machines, coffee machines, kettles, etc. or when heating water
– The higher the energy consumption and thus the energy costs and that with constantly rising energy prices
– Hard water also leads to more limescale deposits in the bathroom, shower, kitchen, toilet, etc.
– and thus leads to more time spent on cleaning
– Hard water also reduces the detergency of detergents based on soap
– and thus leads to increased washing and cleaning costs
What can you do about hard water?
In contrast to Waterfit, in the conventional, classic decalcification system / ion exchanger, the calcium and magnesium ions, which are valuable for the body, which are responsible for the hardness of the water, are removed and replaced by sodium ions. In order to get back to at least 8 degrees German water hardness, untreated, hard water is added.
Disadvantages of the conventional descaling system:
– The valuable calcium and magnesium ions are replaced by sodium / salt ions. This mostly affects the taste quality of drinking water. This is why mixed water drinks such as apple juice with tap water (apple spritzer), coffee, tea etc. no longer taste the way you want them: salty taste or a foreign taste, sometimes weaker, sometimes stronger. In people with circulatory damage, complications as a result of the disruption of the physiologically important sodium-calcium balance in the body cannot be ruled out. Doctors are of the opinion that even more sodium / salt also contributes to over-acidification of the body.
– The hygienic quality of the water can also deteriorate due to the multiplication of germs in the exchange tanks.
– The sodium / salt attacks your fittings.
– High acquisition costs and
– high regular operating costs and maintenance costs or service costs.
On the other hand, what makes sense with hard water?
