Behind the Flow

Why Limescale is a Hidden Problem

Limescale is the chalky white residue left behind when hard water evaporates. In Malta, where water is rich in calcium and magnesium, this buildup clogs pipes, reduces boiler efficiency, and shortens the lifespan of washing machines, coffee makers, and other appliances. Studies show that just 1.6 mm of scale can reduce heating efficiency by almost 12% – raising your energy bills when you need hot water the most.

How Does the Limescalefree Electromagnetic Descaler Work?

Unlike traditional magnetic water conditioners, which have limited effectiveness, the Limescalefree electromagnetic descaler uses two external coils wrapped around your main water line. These coils generate variable-frequency electromagnetic fields that modify how calcium and magnesium ions crystallize. The minerals stay in your drinking water for health, but they no longer stick as hard scale inside your pipes and appliances.

• Protects your entire home with one installation after the water meter
• No salt, no chemicals, no filters, no maintenance
• Eco-friendly and safe – keeps healthy minerals in your water
• Proven in 50,000+ European households

Why Choose Limescalefree?

Our system is TÜV certified and trusted across Europe. Compared to salt-based softeners, it requires no consumables and produces no wastewater. Compared to simple magnetic devices, it delivers consistent results thanks to dynamic electronic fields. The result: a scale-free home, lower energy bills, and appliances that last longer.

Magnetic or Electromagnetic Descaler?

Not all “descalers” work the same way. Magnetic units use fixed magnets. Electromagnetic systems (like Limescalefree) use powered coils to generate a controlled, variable-frequency field. That control over the signal lets the system address a wider range of water conditions and flow rates commonly found in Maltese homes.
