Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between LIMPEO and a Culligan water softener?
It comes down to the technology. Culligan relies on ion exchange, a salt-based water softener. LIMPEO uses electromagnetic waves at controlled frequencies that transform calcite into aragonite to keep scale from depositing, with no salt and no sodium added to your water.
Does LIMPEO require maintenance or consumables the way a water softener does?
No. LIMPEO needs no maintenance and no consumables for a minimum of 10 years: no wearing parts and no service calls. A salt-based water softener, by contrast, involves ongoing consumables (salt, cartridges) and regular upkeep.
Is LIMPEO suitable for all types of installations?
Yes. The LIMPEO range covers every pipe diameter, from residential to industrial. Installation takes about 10 minutes and requires no plumber.
