Why choose a water softener?
Are you tired of constantly removing limescale, replacing appliances prematurely, and drying out your skin and hair with hard water? PureAqua offers the solution for a comfortable, limescale-free life: our high-quality water softeners.
We've conducted extensive research and carefully selected the two best water softeners: Joep and AquaCell . With these reliable systems, you'll immediately enjoy silky-soft water, less maintenance, and greater comfort.
What is the difference between a water filter system and a water softener?
The difference between a water softener and a water filter system is often confused. Below, we clearly explain when to choose a water softener and when to choose a filter system:
How exactly does a water softener work?
A water softener works on the proven principle of ion exchange . The system removes limescale particles from the tap water and replaces them with sodium ions. This happens completely automatically, without any power consumption.
How much maintenance does the system require and can I do this myself or do I need a specialist?
1. How much maintenance does it require?
The Source is designed with minimal maintenance requirements:
- The filters last an average of 6 to 12 months, depending on your water consumption and water quality.
- The system is powerless, meaning there are fewer parts to wear out or fail.
- There is a built-in leak detection system, which provides extra safety and reduces the chance of problems.
2. Can I do it myself or do I need a specialist?
- Most customers can replace the filters themselves. This process is simple, hygienic, and clearly explained in the manual or in our video tutorial.
- However, some people choose to have one of our certified installers come by, for example for the annual check-up or when they prefer to have complete peace of mind.
- We also offer service subscriptions where we automatically contact you when it is time for maintenance.
In short : you can do it yourself if you want — but you don’t have to.

We're happy to explain them clearly, so you can easily make a choice that suits your personal situation and needs.
What is the difference between a water filter system and a water softener?
A water filter system ensures pure, healthy drinking water by removing harmful substances such as pharmaceutical residues, bacteria, pesticides, and heavy metals. A water softener removes only limescale (calcium and magnesium) from the water, so you have soft, limescale-free water throughout your home.
When do I choose a water filter system?
Choose a water filter system if you want pure, healthy, and safe drinking water, without worrying about unwanted substances like pesticides, pharmaceutical residues, bacteria, or microplastics. A water filter significantly improves the taste of your drinking water and is ideal for use in the kitchen.
When do I choose a water softener?
Choose a water softener if you're experiencing limescale buildup in your home and on appliances. A water softener extends the lifespan of your appliances, reduces cleaning, and provides softer water for your skin and hair throughout your home.
Can I combine a water filter system and a water softener?
Yes, absolutely! Many customers choose the combination because it gives you the best of both worlds: pure drinking water and limescale-free water throughout your home. PureAqua offers an attractive discount when you choose both systems.
Are water filter systems and water softeners available separately?
Yes, you can also purchase our water filter systems and water softeners separately. Combining them is optional, but it does offer additional benefits such as extra discounts and convenience.
