Hello everyone,
I have two questions that are related to each other.
We want to install a water softening system in our townhouse community.
Currently, there is an offer from the company that also installed our plumbing system. They are proposing the "permasolvent Primus" solution. The manufacturer claims it uses microelectrodes that, by altering the electrical charge of the water, almost completely prevent scale buildup.
Since I couldn’t find any reliable reviews or critical evaluations—only repetitive marketing language from the manufacturer’s catalogs—I wanted to ask if anyone here has had this system installed and how satisfied they are with it.
Aside from that, some people want the system to definitely be installed by the same company to avoid dealing with two contractors in case of warranty claims and to prevent disputes about who might be responsible for any issues.
Some even said that only that one company is allowed to work on the pipes.
Is that true? I find it hard to believe. I can have my PC upgraded by someone other than where I bought it. Does the warranty or guarantee on the plumbing system (we have a utility room with the main water connection and heating for all units) expire if another company installs, for example, a water softener?
Thank you!

There is a huge difference (also in your understanding) between something forming that needs to be prevented and something already existing that needs to be removed. The difference between these exposes nonsensical marketing claims.
I just wanted to say, with my ironic tone, that some kind of wizard or rain dancer is at work here. If you didn’t understand that, I’m afraid I can’t help you further. But there’s no need to take it personally.
Here’s a reminder from my chemistry toolkit: If electrons were supposed to remove limescale from water (however that might work), the electrodes would become scaled up and unusable in no time. To make matters worse, in my opinion, that’s complete nonsense.
Why not study the technology and operation of water softeners, such as those found in products like Calgon. However, I personally wouldn’t want to drink that water anymore.
