When using a water filter, it is important to choose the right type. Different water filters are not interchangeable.
The easiest way to determine the correct water filter is to look inside the water tank and check the holder where the filter is clipped in.

Hard water puts a strain on your home, your household appliances, and ultimately your wallet. It also leads to higher consumption of cleaning products, soap, and energy, thus harming the environment.
Limescale builds up on the inner walls of water pipes. This reduces the pipe's cross-section, which significantly reduces the water flow.
The effects of hard water become particularly visible here: whitish-yellow limescale deposits on sanitary ware and shower walls, dull fittings, and unsightly water stains. Even regularly drying wet surfaces, such as the shower, cannot completely prevent this.
Thermostatic faucets are particularly sensitive to limescale deposits. The internal components, in particular, can become clogged with limescale, impairing temperature control. In the worst case, the faucets become blocked or permanently damaged.
Porous limescale deposits promote corrosion and rust formation. Both often occur together with limescale and can lead to leaks in pipes and fittings in the long term.
Coffee and espresso machines, dishwashers, and washing machines often have a shorter lifespan in areas with hard water. Combi steamers are also particularly sensitive to limescale deposits. Regular descaling or the use of a suitable water filter helps to protect the appliances and extend their lifespan.
