Frequently asked questions

Does a salt-free water softener like LIMPEO require maintenance?
No. LIMPEO requires no maintenance and no consumables for a minimum of 10 years. It has no wearing parts and needs no technical servicing, unlike salt-based or cartridge systems, which require regular refills.
How does a salt-free water softener work, and is it scientifically proven?
Yes. LIMPEO uses electromagnetic waves at controlled frequencies that transform calcite into aragonite, preventing scale (CaCO₃) from depositing. This technology is backed by peer-reviewed studies (Coey & Cass, 2000; Kobe et al., 2001), which demonstrated a reduction in scale.
Is LIMPEO suitable for all installations and easy to fit?
Yes. The LIMPEO range covers every pipe diameter, from residential to industrial. Installation takes 10 minutes, with no plumber needed. It's also eco-friendly: zero discharge and zero chemicals, unlike salt-based softeners.
