Comparison between chemical water softener (Ion-exchanger) and Aqua-4D®

Environment

Chemical water softener (Ion-exchanger) Aqua-4D®
Changes the chemical composition of water(calcium is exchanged for sodium) Keeps the same original chemical composition of the water (calcium et magnesium remains in water)
Damages environment with rejections of salt with waste water Respects environment with no rejects
Increase of annual consumption of water by 10% for rinsing purposes  

Health

Chemical water softener (Ion-exchanger) Aqua-4D®
Influence on water potability No influence on water potability
Some clients meet with wellness issues Some clients perceive improved wellness
Ideal ground for bacteria development if systematic maintenance not done on a regular basis Eliminates the ground for bacteria development
Consumption not advised during pregnancy, cardiovascular problems and new born babies Consumption advised to all

Installation / Maintenance

Chemical water softener (Ion-exchanger) Aqua-4D®
Large space needed for installation (water /mixing container + salt reservoir + salt bags) Hardly any space needed (tube on the water main + small electronic box on the wall)
Regular maintenance needed No maintenance needed
Inhibits new scaling but does not dissolve existing ones Inhibits new lime scaling and corrosion, and dissolves existing lime layers in installations
Minimum tuning to 15 French degrees hardness to prevent corrosion. However no automatic tuning according to change of hardness of water Works with all water hardnesses even if they change all the time

Other magnetic devices

  • Requires a minimum flow of water to work
  • Limited effect against corrosion
  • Requires regular maintenance
  • long and troublesome intervention
  • High costs
  • Risk of water leaks (perforated pipes)
  • Continuous chemical injection
  • Effect depends on the thickness and material of the pipes
  • Almost no effect with laminar water flow
  • Efficiency depends on water flow
