Countless products are flooding the market and causing uncertainty among consumers. Evodrop also believes that limescale must be removed from the water in order to solve the limescale problem.

However, retailers and suppliers of softening systems offer solutions with regenerating salt, which are in fact not as beneficial as they appear to be at first glance with test strips, as these are designed to react only to mineral ions. The effective amount of particles in the water remains the same and you can easily test this at home with a PPM meter. Why? Because salt is released into the water in exchange for minerals.

Evodrop takes a sporty approach and simply wants to clarify that descaling without salt works demonstrably and defines the state of the art.

Function of conventional softening systems

Ion exchangers (salt systems)

A water softening system based on ion exchange leads to a change in drinking water quality. A softening system exchanges useful minerals and the annoying limescale for sodium. This leads to an increase in the sodium value in the water. This is also the reason for the regular addition of salt to the water softener's storage tank. From a nutritional point of view, this removal of minerals from drinking water is questionable.

Heterogeneous catalysis (seed crystals)

The effect of so-called catalyst technology is based on the generation of crystal nuclei. In this case, however, the crystal nuclei are generated by the formation of tiny lime crystals on the surface of a special granulate from the calcium and magnesium ions contained in the water. The lime crystals formed are detached from the surface by the flow or contact between the granules. The formation process of crystals takes place automatically in supersaturated water on the surface of the granules. Such systems have therefore primarily been used in the hot water sector to date.

Electrophysical treatment

This area includes coils that emit electrical impulses. An electro-magnetic field is created in which the physical properties of the lime particles contained in the flowing water are changed. This is done in such a way that they no longer bind together and are therefore less able to form deposits. Their electromagnetic fields are intended to shift the calcification process away from the pipe wall into the flowing water and keep the pipes clear. This process is said to form microcrystals of limescale, which remain in suspension and are washed away with the flowing water. Unfortunately, this principle does not work in every case, as Stiftung Warentest has already established several times.

Why is salt in water treatment harmful?

Picture of an installation

Change in drinking water quality

The use of salt for water treatment can lead to increased salt levels in drinking water, especially in areas with limited access to fresh water sources. Increased salt content in drinking water can lead to increased sodium intake, which in turn can have negative effects on health, especially for people with high blood pressure or kidney problems. In addition, softening with salt removes the desired mineral complexes from the water.

Negative effects on the environment

The use of salt in water treatment can also have a negative impact on the environment, particularly on the salt or chloride content in rivers and lakes into which treated wastewater is discharged. A high salt content in water can affect ecosystems and impair the growth of plants and animals.

Corrosion of pipes and appliances

Salty water can lead to corrosion of pipes and equipment in water treatment plants, which can result in increased maintenance costs and inefficient water treatment.

Evodrop's quality promise

What Sets EVODROP Apart?

Evodrop only eliminates the hydrogen carbonates, i.e. the annoying limescale. This is achieved by the specially developed and patented malic acid complex. Malic acid is an organic component of many fruits, but is mainly found in apples. It therefore meets all food-compliant test criteria, as it is obtained from food-safe raw materials. The process is internationally protected and sets new standards in descaling worldwide. A major advantage over descaling systems, which require 120 kilograms of salt per 100,000 liters of water, is that Evodrop only requires 400 grams of malic acid for the same amount of water.

Advantages of EVODROP's Salt-Free Technology

The result is comparable to conventional softening systems with salt, but is more sustainable and requires less effort. The appliances can be switched to softer water in the same way and you save on detergent and fabric softener. As no salt, electricity or waste water is required, this has two major advantages: firstly, maintenance costs are reduced to a minimum and owners can carry out maintenance themselves by simply changing cartridges without tools. Secondly, the taste of the water is not affected. On the contrary - the water tastes soft and is also freed from heavy metals, viruses and bacteria with a filtration module. It doesn't matter whether your pipes are old or new, because this filtration ensures efficient pipe protection. The filtration level can also be adjusted by the customer and with a better filtration module, any pollutants such as microplastics, hormones, pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria and viruses can be eliminated from the water. As the modules are interchangeable, the customer can decide which filtration level is required each year.

Safety through science

No expense was spared and an elaborate test procedure was carried out at SGS, the world's largest water testing body. Here, a strong limescale protection rate of up to 94% was successfully proven and certified. The processes used are certified by the FDA and other quality seals as absolutely harmless to health. In addition to limescale-free water, Evodrop is the only solution to offer an optional refinement stage, which gives the water a fine and soft taste. An additional advantage of this option is that the conductivity and solubility of the water is optimized. These two abilities are the most important tool functions of water in the household, but also in our bodies. Facts that seem trivial, but are obviously noticeable with every sip of water.
