An average family can save up to 600 euros per year with an Aqua Tesla Basic.
Does investing in a water improvement system yield benefits – in addition to soft water?
Extensive research has shown that this is certainly the case.
The calculation below is based on a family of 4 people.
Soap products and cleaning and maintenance products
On average, a family consumes 420 euros in soap products per year: 186 euros in cleaning and maintenance products and 234 euros in body care.
Due to the lack of lime in the water, fewer products are needed for cleaning sanitary facilities and maintaining equipment and installations. The skin and hair feel softer and your laundry is equally clean at lower temperatures and with less detergent or fabric softener.
The use of soap products and cleaning and maintenance products decreases by 50%, which means that 210 euros are saved annually.
Energy saving
Figures show that an average family spends 419 euros annually on hot water.
By preventing limescale build-up in your appliances, your family can save 15% (63 euros) on the energy costs of hot water. Electric boilers and gas boilers also work more efficiently and their lifespan is extended with a water softener.
Device replacement
Shower heads with limescale, dishwashers and washing machines that no longer wash clean… The maintenance and replacement of taps, pipes and hot water appliances cost an average family 200 euros annually. By using softened water, less maintenance is required and your hot water appliances only need to be replaced later.
You save about 150 euros per year and enjoy your appliances and installation for much longer.
Clothing
Softened water also has a positive effect on the lifespan of your clothing and household linen. Clean clothes at a low temperature, vibrant colors, and soft fabrics without fabric softener are all benefits of a water softener.
Assuming that a family spends an average of 1,182 euros annually on clothing and household linen, up to 15% (177 euros) can be saved on clothing because it simply wears less quickly.
Conclusion: you save up to 600 euros per year
All the above amounts added together, provide a family with annual savings of up to 600 euros by using a water softener. You use less energy, enjoy your appliances and clothing for longer and the consumption of soap products, cleaning, and maintenance products decrease by 50%. Good for your wallet and you contribute to a better environment.
Therefore, the water softener as a household appliance can without a doubt be added to the list of ‘green products. In fact, an independent study shows that a water softener is one of the best energy-saving tools in the household!
