💬 Does your filter remove the “stone” from the water?

We often hear the question, especially in Cyprus: “Does your filter remove the stone from the water?”. However, it is important to clarify that the term “stone” is not scientific. When someone refers to “stone,” they actually mean the hardness of the water, that is, the presence of dissolved mineral salts, mainly calcium and magnesium.

🧪 Priority: Removal of Chemicals and Toxic Substances

Before we examine the issue of hardness, it is crucial to know that the most significant problems with drinking water today are not the salts, but dangerous chemicals, such as:

• Chlorine and chlorination by-products (e.g. THMs)
• Pesticides and drug residues
• Heavy metals, microplastics, PFAS and other carcinogenic compounds

The above are invisible, tasteless, odorless, but also much more harmful to health than the visible salts on tiles, faucets, or kettles. That is why the primary priority of any water filter should be the removal of these substances, in order to protect human health, especially that of children.

You can have mineral salts in your water and at the same time drink absolutely pure water from chemicals – and vice versa: you may not have many mineral salts but drink water full of dangerous compounds. Therefore, the aesthetic problem of salts should not be your main concern.

💧 And what about the metallic salts;

If your water leaves visible salts, it is likely that it has high hardness. Hardness is not always harmful to health, but it can create:

• Deposits in faucets and electrical appliances (e.g. kettles, water heaters)
• Reduction of cleaning power (e.g. in washing)
• Taste or aesthetic issues (e.g. cloudiness in tea, coffee)

To answer accurately, we need to measure the hardness of your water, which we can do completely free of charge during the home visit we make.

Then, depending on the use (e.g. for drinking water, bathing, etc.), we can suggest:

• Drinking water filter, like the Imperial® Plus, that does not remove metallic salts and trace elements because they are not dangerous for drinking (on the contrary, they are essential for our health as they are electrolytes), but eliminates chlorine, pesticides, toxic substances, and any other hazardous chemical pollutants, etc.
• Camelot® offers solutions for hardness as well – not with reverse osmosis that wastes 70% of water, but with friendly and economical technologies, without unnecessary maintenance. This is a combination of Imperial Plus with our distillation devices, so you can not only ensure the purity of the water but also reduce hardness, e.g., between 150-500 ppm. In case of such a need, one of our specialists will explain how it can be done.

✅ What to remember:

• The “stone” is not dangerous – the chlorine, pesticides, and chemicals are.
• Every home has different needs: that’s why we offer FREE hardness measurement.
• We always suggest the best possible solution, without exaggerations and without “blind” sales.
