With over 25 years of experience, we naturally transform hard water into soft water, protecting your installations and saving the environment. Delve into our history and discover why we are the experts in limescale treatment.
The Origins of SoluCalc: From Creation in 1998 to Innovation
Founded in 1998 under the name Hydro-Bio, SoluCalc was born from a passion for water treatment in Belgium. At the time, the founders, experts in heating and plumbing, identified limescale as the main cause of costly breakdowns. They then launched an intensive research and development (R&D) phase that would last ten years.
1998-2008: The decisive R&D phase: Rigorous tests on alternative technologies to traditional salt led to the creation of the first CO2 water softener. This innovative system injects food-grade CO2 to convert limescale into soluble calcium bicarbonate, without chemical residues.
A Belgian commitment: The company, headquartered in Fleurus, remains 100% local, promotes regional employment and "Made in Belgium" production certified ACS (Attestation of Sanitary Conformity). This founding period lays the foundations of our expertise: an ecological approach that avoids the polluting saline waste of classic softeners.
The Buyout in 2018: Towards a European Expansion
In 2018, SoluCalc took a major step with its buyout by a visionary team. The objective? Accelerate our expansion, positioning SoluCalc as a sustainable alternative to traditional systems. To learn more about this ecological competition, read this article comparing Solucalc to other less ecological solutions.
Why this turning point? CO2 softeners meet a growing demand for sustainable solutions. Unlike salt-based models, our technology:
- Preserves the potability of water (100% drinkable).
- Reduces maintenance costs (no saline regeneration).
- Minimizes environmental impact (reduction of polluting discharges).
Since then, we have extended our presence to more than 10 European countries, including Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom.
