Hello dear home builders,
Do you have a water softening system? Is it really worth it, or is it just a money-making scheme?
Our architect recommended one to us, but the question is whether the 3000 euros really justify it.
I think that’s a lot of money.

Now I get it. Honeywell produced and sold something similar or identical until the early 2000s. The crystallization nuclei in this case are macroscopic polymer beads, or as they say nowadays, “microplastics.” When the microplastic issue emerged and gained media attention, Honeywell effectively withdrew the technology from the market overnight.
Now it’s being sold under the label "bio"-cat. Interesting. Whether you add microplastics or salt to drinking water is up to each individual to decide. Both will certainly work. Where do you get this statement and accusation from?

We definitely want a water softening system. However, we are still unsure whether to choose a single-tank or dual-tank system.
Our plumber recommends a dual-tank setup, not so much for "continuous" softening, but for hygienic reasons. Apparently, when not in use, the water is pumped back and forth between the tanks and does not remain stagnant for a long time.
Is this true? Does it really make a significant difference in residential use?

Do you know the underlying chemical-physical principle of this system? I am familiar with the systems from Honeywell. Berkefeld also used to have something similar.
Lime stabilization occurs by causing calcium compounds to crystallize onto a macroscopic plastic granulate (usually some chemically and mechanically highly resistant polymers).

Water is pumped back and forth between the columns when not in use and does not remain standing for a long time. Not really. There is no pumping back and forth without a pump and consumption. Without consumption, the water stands in a two-column system just as it does in a single-column system. Hygiene is ensured in both designs by a chlorine cell, which disinfects most of the filter bed during regeneration.

we are getting the Gruenbeck softliQ:SC18 We have also considered this one, although I’m still not sure if I need one with a hardness level of 14.7 (14.7 degrees)?!?
