On many occasions, when a seller is offering us one of your filters water, mention a detail that while it can be deduced what means, the concept is much more complex than it seems, that it can generate serious disorders to health if we are victims of a constant exposure: Water hardness.

The damage that this water consumption entails, there are some demonstrations which constant exposure to the hardness of water may lead to cardiovascular disease, and may also be permitted this concentration limits, set for 40 to 80 mg/l calcium and magnesium in 20 to 30 mg/l
