Improving your water in Bech
Compliant tap water doesn't mean ideal water. Two complementary levers: treat limescale (comfort, appliance lifespan) and purify drinking water (nitrates, pesticides, PFAS).

Water softener strongly recommended
At 33.1 °fH, the water is hard: limescale furs up water heaters and pipes and raises your energy bill. A softener typically pays for itself within 3 to 5 years.
Reverse osmosis — pure drinking water
Bech, like all of Luxembourg, is a nitrate vulnerable zone, and the European PFAS standard has applied since 2026. An under-sink reverse-osmosis unit removes 95–99% of nitrates, pesticides, PFAS and residues — the safest solution for the water you drink.

Bech, like the entire territory of Luxembourg, is officially classified as a vulnerable zone under the European Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC). Concentrations at the tap remain within drinking water standards (50 mg/L max).
+Do you need a reverse-osmosis unit in Bech?
In Bech, the water is hard (33.1°fH): a softener treats limescale throughout the house, and an under-sink reverse-osmosis unit completes the setup for drinking water.

+Water softener and treatment in Bech: which solutions?
In Bech (hard water, 33.1°fH), two complementary treatments: the softener, fitted at the water inlet, removes limescale and protects the whole house; the reverse-osmosis unit, under the sink, purifies drinking water (nitrates, PFAS).
