Descaling: Is there a test winner in Switzerland?
No, there is no test winner in Switzerland - because there are no comprehensive and neutral tests. However, we have chosen our product as our personal test winner. This is because we provide sustainable and scientifically proven limescale protection that is gentle on people and the environment - and at a very fair price. With a limescale protection device from Evodrop, you get a product with no hidden costs (service contracts, electricity and waste water costs). The only follow-up costs are the annual cartridge, which has to be replaced automatically without tools.
In this article, we look at various tests of descaling agents and softeners. These tests show the effectiveness as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these products. Overall, we recommend tackling limescale problems sustainably and effectively - without the use of chemicals or similar products.

More InformationEnvironmentally friendly & healthy alternative
Compared to traditional descaling systems, which often use salt or chemicals, Evodrop offers an environmentally friendly and health-friendly alternative. While conventional systems often disturb the natural mineral balance of the water, our technology preserves the essential minerals that are important for human health.
Synthetic additives such as E 536 (potassium ferrocyanide) are added to prevent the sodium from salt plants from clumping together. The salt is therefore anything but a natural product.
Evodrop, on the other hand, uses natural malic acid.
The use of salt in water softening systems also has an environmental impact. The salt and the chemical additives used to regenerate the resins enter the waste water and can pollute the environment. The disposal of the exchange resin as hazardous waste also poses an environmental risk.
So we have come full circle: you should tackle the limescale problems in your household sustainably.
Investing in an Evodrop system pays off. In addition to reducing maintenance and operating costs by preventing limescale deposits, you can also save on detergents and other cleaning products. Our technology helps you to extend the life of your household appliances and reduces the overall cost of household water treatment.
The problem: limescale in the household
Lime-containing water, which mainly contains calcium, varies from region to region and depending on the water treatment process. Calcium is harmless to health, but limescale leads to problems such as calcification of pipes, limescale stains in the bathroom and kitchen and damage to household appliances. Evodrop offers various solutions to treat these problems:

FAQ: Limescale, descaling & EVODROP - Everything you need to know
How good is Evodrop?
Evodrop is the leading solution in Switzerland when it comes to descaling and purifying water. Our systems use the latest technology that not only efficiently removes limescale, but also improves the quality of drinking water. This makes Evodrop the best choice for households that value healthy, clean and soft water.
How does Evodrop work?
How does water softening work without salt?
Evodrop uses an innovative technology that enables water softening without the addition of salt. This process changes the molecular structure of limescale so that it no longer settles and does not clog or damage pipes or household appliances. This method is not only more environmentally friendly, but also healthier, as it preserves the natural mineral profile of the water.
What did the Kassensturz test of descaling agents reveal?
In 2020, Kassensturz (SRF) tested ten household descaling products (e.g. Aldi Emma's Best, Durgol) at the SGS Institute in Wiesbaden. Surprisingly, inexpensive products such as Emma's Best and Durgol achieved the same top score as expensive products. More expensive special descaling agents often perform no better in comparison and can even attack the material in some cases.
What are the disadvantages of conventional descaling agents?
Descalers dissolve limescale, but are usually based on aggressive or chemical acids. They can damage production materials (e.g. stainless steel, marble) and pollute the environment and waste water. Kassensturz also points out that these agents only help selectively and are not a long-term solution to limescale problems.
Is there an official test winner for descaling systems in Switzerland?
No, there are no neutral and comprehensive comparative tests for descaling systems in Switzerland. EVODROP therefore describes itself as the "personal test winner", based on scientifically proven limescale protection with malic acid, without aggressive chemicals or salt.
How does EVODROP differ from conventional salt softening systems?
Salt softening replaces calcium and magnesium with sodium, which removes minerals, alters drinking water, pollutes the environment and causes maintenance. EVODROP uses natural malic acid in filter cartridges to transform the structure of limescale, preserves important minerals and provides effective, environmentally friendly limescale protection, all materials remain intact and the water retains its taste.
How sustainable is this EVODROP technology?
- Mineral retention: Calcium and magnesium are retained in the water.
- Environmentally friendly: no chemicals or salt, no waste water pollution.
- Low maintenance: No service, salt or resin replacement necessary.
- Cost-effective: No salt consumption, you replace simple cartridges yourself.
- Laboratory certified: DVGW-tested, PFAS/microplastic filter, 20-year guarantee, 180-day money-back guarantee
Do I have to descale at all if I use EVODROP?
Yes, but significantly less. Kassensturz tests show that machines with hard water need to be descaled frequently. EVODROP users can significantly reduce selective cleaning such as coffee machines or kettles because limescale deposits are prevented by physical conversion
Is EVODROP really a "test winner"?
There are no official comparisons, but EVODROP supports its position:
-
Effect proven by independent laboratory reports (DVGW, SGS)
-
Natural malic acid instead of salt
-
Broad filter benefit (PFAS, microplastics, heavy metals)
-
Customer money-back guarantee and long-term warranty
Why does Kassensturz recommend limescale protection devices instead of descaling agents?
Kassensturz considers descaling agents to be expensive, chemically aggressive and unsustainable. Instead, it recommends long-term limescale protection solutions that work without harmful chemicals. EVODROP meets precisely these criteria and offers a holistic alternative.
