Hydrokube is the latest generation of effective, salt-free anti-scale treatment.
The CO2 water softener combines many advantages. Based on proven technology in the food industry, it will bring you savings and efficiency.
Efficient
– Hydrokube’s C02 water softener has been tested and certified 100% effective by the Belgian laboratory Ecochim and Test-Achat.
–CO2 anti-limescale treats and redistributes 100% of used water
– Exclusive function to remove limescale from pipes
Economical
– You save €2,000 with salt-free softened water. It’s enough to make the price of a CO2 water softener worthwhile.
– Longer service life for machines, hot water tanks, taps and toilets
– By eliminating limescale, you use less electricity to heat your water, less soap to clean, and save money on anti-scale products.
Natural
– Thanks to this salt-free water softener, softened water is safe to drink and retains its true taste and natural trace elements (calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, sodium, phosphorus).
– No pollutant discharge
– Hydrokube uses 100% recycled food-grade C02
With a CO2 antilimer save money compared to a salt softener
With the Hydrokube, you’ll save on average:
- 13 m³/year of water consumption, the cost of resin regeneration (average price €5.4/m³ = €70 incl. VAT1),
- 130/year for maintenance and resin disinfection,
Total savings: over €2,000 (€200/year over 10 years)
Then there’s the cost of the environmental impact of discharging salt into the water.

When I bought my house in 2002, it was equipped with a salt water softener – I soon realized that it was flushing hundreds of liters of water down the drain every week! So I unplugged it.
Of course, I started having problems with limescale… among other things, my boiler’s internal plumbing was completely clogged!
Luckily, in 2015, I was able to benefit from CO2 technology, which is just as effective but doesn’t generate these untimely discharges to the sewer. What’s more, calcium remains present (in another chemical form) in the tap water we drink -> good for the body :). And the CO2 for one year barely costs me the equivalent of two SodaStream refills…
And there are still some small advantages – for example, I’ve identified a major water leak thanks to the Hydrokube module’s screen, which displays daily consumption… 150 liters already “consumed” while I’m getting up and nobody’s had a shower yet… not normal! With the ‘official’ hydrobru meter, I would have noticed the leak when I received my annual bill…
In short… all advantages…

What’s more, we drink this water every day. The big advantage is that the water still tastes good, unlike systems with salt tablets.
Once the system is installed and properly adjusted, you forget about it and that’s that. Just check the CO2 cylinder pressure after 6 months to 1 year. The instructions provided are clear.

Thanks to the installer who was very professional!
Any questions?
Here you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
How can CO2 help fight tartar?
CO2 gas (carbon dioxide) exists naturally: for example, it is naturally present in sparkling water. The Hydrokube water softener injects it into your water circuit and pipes, dissolving limescale and transforming it into calcium bicarbonate, perfectly soluble in water. Calcium bicarbonate is used in food as an acidity regulator and stabilizer, and in medicine to regulate heart pressure.
Is it effective against limescale deposits on sanitaryware?
Thanks to this C02water softener, your faucet’s aerator won’t get clogged, and your toilet valve, hot water tank, etc. won’t scale up. You’ll still have residues other than limescale, such as soap deposits and calcium bicarbonate (a fine white powder that can be removed with a damp cloth/sponge). Of course, there will always be a standard cleaning of the sanitary facilities.
Installing the Hydrokube CO2 water softener
We have a network of dealers all over Belgium to take care ofinstallation. What’s more, the Hydrokube CO2 water softener can easily be installed by a good DIYer.
If your home is more than 10 years old, we recommend that you go through a Hydrokube-approved professional: the 6% VAT avoids a large proportion of the costs of standard installation (from €186 to €239).
Do I need to have a particular pipe configuration in the house?
No by-pass or sewage connection is required. A nearby electrical outlet (approx. 1 m) is required, and we recommend the installation of a water pressure regulator. No special configuration is required for installation, and we have never encountered any configuration problems.
Are there any costs other than changing theCO2 cylinder?
With our CO2 softener, there are no maintenance costs and no wasted water because there’s no sewer connection. Consumption is negligible, well below 0.1 kWh per 100m3 of water consumed, or less than 1 EUR.
What is theCO2 consumption?
You need to change the 10kg bottle of CO2 every 100 m 3 of water (depending on the hardness of your water):
- The dial on the cylinder regulator indicates the minimum pressure threshold.
- The Hydrokube Comfort’s digital display shows the number of CO2 units used and the total volume of water consumed.
Does it work for my whole house?
In some appliances, when the water is heated very high and left in the open air for a certain length of time, some of the CO2 evaporates and the limescale forms a thin film: this happens in electric kettles. In some long-cycle household dishwashers, a 3-in-1 tablet is all you need to avoid it.
Does this work if I have low water pressure?
Treatment requires at least 2 bars of dynamic water pressure at the entrance to the home after the water meter. The water distributor guarantees a static pressure of between 2 and 10 bar at the meter (excluding deviations and isolated cases). The probability of not having enough water pressure for treatment is therefore practically zero.
