How much does a CO₂ water softener cost?
The price depends on the model, installation setup and selected options. The residential SoluCalc model starts from €1,900 excluding installation and options.
SoluCalc is a salt-free water softening system that protects plumbing and appliances from limescale using CO₂. Unlike traditional salt-based water softeners, 100% of the limescale is transformed into calcium bicarbonate, dissolves in the water without clogging pipes, even at high temperatures. The SoluCalc system is explained in detail in the video below.

How much does limescale really cost you every year?
Depending on your geographical region, water hardness can vary significantly and affect your household appliances and sanitary installations. Use our calculator to check the water hardness in your area.

No more heavy salt bags to carry or buy regularly. No salty water, no polluting discharge, no sodium in your drinking water. Unlike salt-based water softeners: frequent handling of salt bags, brine discharge, and added sodium.

Water naturally retains calcium and magnesium, essential for health and taste. Unlike salt-based water softeners: sodium is added and minerals are removed.

Limescale deposits no longer form on taps, boilers, and household appliances, extending their lifespan and improving energy efficiency. Unlike salt-based water softeners: effectiveness depends on refills, and limescale quickly returns if salt is forgotten.

A discreet system installed after the water meter. Approximately one CO₂ refill per year, carried out by a professional. Unlike salt-based water softeners: bulky tanks, salt storage, and more demanding maintenance.

Prevents limescale buildup in pipes, faucets, and fixtures, extending their lifespan significantly.
Your boiler heats water 25% more efficiently without limescale, reducing energy bills dramatically.
No more scrubbing limescale stains. Surfaces stay cleaner longer with less effort and chemicals.

Frequently asked questions
Key answers for comparing a CO₂ water softener, a salt-based water softener and a salt-free solution.
The price depends on the model, installation setup and selected options. The residential SoluCalc model starts from €1,900 excluding installation and options.
A salt-based softener replaces part of the calcium and magnesium with sodium. SoluCalc uses food-grade CO₂ to convert limescale into soluble calcium bicarbonate, without salt, regeneration or brine discharge.
The system injects a controlled amount of CO₂ into the water. This reaction converts incrusting limescale into a soluble form that flows with the water and limits deposits in pipes, taps and appliances.
Yes. CO₂ treatment does not remove the minerals naturally present in the water and does not add sodium. The taste of the water is preserved.
SoluCalc is designed for long-term use and comes with a 5-year warranty. Routine upkeep mainly consists of replacing the CO₂ cylinder when needed.
