Dear forum members

I have been researching suitable water softening systems for some time now, but I am still a bit undecided.
I was initially looking at a BTW Perla system. Since BTW has still not responded to my email, I continued searching. It turns out there are many other manufacturers. I have now come across Water2By, which offers a 7-year warranty. According to my research, their systems should not be any worse than the BTW system. Does anyone have experience with them?
BTW offers an Aqua-Stop with a sensor. I have also seen such sensors available online. Are these recommended? Since the moisture sensors are placed in rooms, it doesn’t help if I have water damage in the bathroom three rooms away. Is there a leak detector that generally reacts if a pipe anywhere in the house leaks or bursts?

Thank you very much
Best regards, jumbo125

Hello,

I would always choose a provider that offers service. In our area, Grünbeck is the most common. You will need to have the units maintained at some point. The manufacturer’s service is usually more affordable compared to a plumber who is trained by the manufacturer.

Judo and Judo aquastop. I am very satisfied. If there is a leak anywhere in the house, the main water valve will automatically shut off.

I would like to use a product from Water2Buy, but they don’t have any service partners in Austria.

These units are complete junk from the Far East. If you want something reliable (with DVGW certification, resin disinfection, and reasonable operating costs), stick with the German/European manufacturers. BWT, Grünbeck, Judo—all good options.
