Calcium Reducing Pads
Product information "Calcium Reducing Pads"
Calcium Reducing Pads for all YVE-BIO filters
Our Calcium Reducing Pads use ion exchange to remove some of the Minerals from the water.
Depending on the water hardness, you should change the pad every 3-7 weeks.
Recommendation: Initially change every 4 weeks and then adjust the interval according to taste.
How does Calcium and other Minerals get into the water - and is it harmful?
Many people think that Minerals are present in water in the same way as the white deposits on taps or in kettles. This is wrong. Minerals are completely dissolved in water - comparable to salt in water. These are minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These are important for the body, not harmful.
What does "Calcium" in water mean?
The term describes the content of dissolved calcium carbonate, one of the most common minerals on earth.
How do Minerals get into the water?
Rainwater absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and forms carbonic acid. This reacts with rock and dissolves calcium. This is how calcium carbonate gets into the water.
Why do limescale deposits form?
Deposits form when the solubility limit is exceeded - especially when heated. Carbon dioxide escapes during heating, minerals becomes less soluble and precipitates as a solid residue (limescale). This is a problem for appliances, but not for humans.
Does calcium in water have anything to do with arteriosclerosis?
No. "Calcification of the arteries" (arteriosclerosis) is caused by fats, deposits and inflammatory processes - not by minerals from drinking water.
Is calcium in water harmful?
No. Calcium is an essential nutrient and important for bones and teeth. It is neither necessary nor sensible to remove it completely from the water. Differences in calcium content mainly affect the taste.
Can Minerals be filtered out?
Not with simple filters such as activated carbon, as the minerals are dissolved. This requires ion exchange processes.
