Protecting Your Water Heater from Limescale with LIMPEO

The water heater is the appliance most affected by limescale. LIMPEO protects the heating element, preserves the anode and extends the tank's service life.

The limescale problem

In many countries, 80% of households are supplied with hard water (above 15°f). Limescale builds up in pipes, on heating elements and inside appliances, causing:

  • Increased energy consumption — +7% per mm of scale on heating elements (learn more)
  • Reduced lifespan of appliances by 30 to 50%
  • White stains on taps and surfaces (the 5 warning signs)
  • Dry skin and dull hair (learn more)

The LIMPEO solution

LIMPEO, designed by MAGIIC SAS, uses controlled-frequency electromagnetic waves to transform calcite into aragonite. Aragonite microcrystals do not deposit — they simply flow away with the water.

  • reduction in limescale — scientifically validated
  • 0 chemicals, no salt — water retains its minerals
  • 0 maintenance for a minimum of 10 years
  • Installation in 10 minutes, no plumber required, no water shut-off
  • 25% energy savings

FAQ

Does LIMPEO protect the whole house?

Yes. Installed on the main water inlet, LIMPEO protects the entire installation: pipes, water heater, shower, taps and appliances.

Is installation really straightforward?

Yes. LIMPEO installs in 10 minutes without cutting pipes and without a plumber. Simply clamp it around the incoming water pipe.

How long before you see results?

The preventive effect is immediate (no new deposits form). Existing deposits become brittle and are easily cleaned away within 2 to 8 weeks depending on their thickness.
