How does the Soft Capsule actually work?Updated 6 months ago

The Soft Capsule consists of two parts, each with a separate function:

* An activated carbon filter that filters out unwanted odours and tastes, chlorine, organic compounds and certain heavy metals in certain quantities from the water.

* An ion exchanger that removes lime from the water and replaces it with sodium.

The amount of sodium added to the water does not make the water taste saltier, as the amount of sodium added remains below the taste threshold.

In any case, the amount of sodium added to the water remains below the applicable European standards for sodium in drinking water! According to European Directive 98/83/EC on the quality of water intended for human consumption, the content of sodium in drinking water must not exceed 200 mg/l (milligrams per litre). On average, the Robi Soft Capsule will only add around 20mg/l (the value may vary depending on the hardness of the supplied water).
