Hello everyone,
In our future house, the water hardness is between 23 and 25 dH. I have spoken with some people from the new development area, and many are having a water softening system installed directly. I have done some research online, but honestly, I am a bit unsure. Many people strongly recommend salt-based systems, but what about something like a Watercat Cube? Does a system like that work with my water hardness?

So, what exactly was questionable about it again? Where should I even begin?
The associated website? The quality of its translation? The legal notice? The "fulfillment center" in Dublin? The "processing" in Kent? The customer service in Kolín? The missing DIN-DVGW certification? The legal requirements of the AVBWasserV regulation? The requirements of DIN 1988? The requirements of DIN EN 806? Product liability law? Manufacturer’s declaration of conformity? Which contract installation company of your drinking water network operator installed the system according to the applicable technical standards and maintains it properly?
The list can go on without end. But being cheap is trendy here in Germany, especially when it comes to our basic necessities.

But don’t worry, everything was professionally installed and regularly inspected and maintained. Some people just don’t like it when a product can do the same and even costs less. Look at it this way: if this thing blows up our house, it’s not your problem, and I’ll honestly tell you then—you were right!

So, the missing DIN-DVGW certification alone would be a dealbreaker for me... Sorry, but this thing is just not acceptable.The DVGW is questionable anyway. This device has been working very well for 7 years. CE marking as well as NSF, ISO, TÜV, FDA, and several other quality certifications are available for anyone who really needs them.Bautraum2015 schrieb:
The DVGW is questionable anyway. The DVGW is the industry association for gas and water supply in Germany. Its main role is to develop the technical standards that ensure the safety and reliability of gas and water supply. Through this industry self-regulation, recognized technical rules are created, which are referenced by legislation; these rules carry legal weight regarding liability and in the event of damages.
If, in your personal opinion, the DVGW is "questionable," this already reveals a lot about your mindset.

Some just don’t like it when a product performs the same and is also cheaper.As I said, being stingy is cool. I’m glad that you and your group managed to snag such a super cheap deal and that it works for you. However, when the next contamination of the drinking water network occurs, I wouldn’t want to be in your position. Water network operators increasingly try to identify someone to blame — which is usually those who install uncertified devices without VIU (verification upon installation). But everyone has to decide for themselves. Better to save a few hundred on equipment and then pay two to three times as much in operating costs.
