The system Odouce uses a anti-limescaleThe system consists of a galvanic membrane that automatically activates a turbine of electrodes when water passes through it.
This revolutionary technology will make it possible to forget the problems caused by limescale.
The turbulence created in the system removes a tiny quantity of zinc by ionisation (electrolysis), which modifies the calcium carbonate by forcing it to take on a non-sticky powdery form, aragonite, instead of the sticky crystalline form known as calcite. The reaction is written as Zn2+ + 2HCO3- ZnCO3 + H2O + CO2
The result? An effective treatment against limescale and scale, which is ultra-simple to install and requires no specific maintenance. The treatment has a preventive and curative effect. On a system clogged with limescale, the aragonite will gently abrade the calcite until the pipes are completely clean. This can take up to 3-4 months, depending on the amount deposited, and you'll see white dust accumulate at the taps, which you can wipe away with a damp cloth. That's why you get a six-month trial, so you have plenty of time to see how effective the product is.
Enhance your water with Odouce!Â
Protect your water heater against limescale build-up
It requires no power supply, batteries, chemicals or filters.

With ODouce
These heaters underwent 40 heating cycles over 11 days in a 120l hot water tank before being dismantled.
Odouce uses a patented turbulent galvanic polarisation electrode to disrupt the formation of limescale crystals on water heater elements. In side-by-side comparative tests, the resistance of the Odouce-protected electric water heater created four times less scale (weighed with an electronic balance) than that of the water heater without the protection.
Â
Odouce is easy to install and requires no maintenance. It comes with a 5-year guarantee and a projected lifespan of around 10 years. It is installed at the water meter outlet, or at the water inlet to the home. Both connections are 3/4″ female, simply follow the direction of the blue arrow printed on the body of the product to the right of the logo.

Initial cost | Medium (€500) | High (€1,000 - €3,000) | Medium to high (€800 - €2000) | High (€1,000 - €3,000) | Low to medium (€200 - €600) | Low to medium (€300 - €800) |
Maintenance | None, no maintenance | Requires CO2 refills | Requires resin refills. | High, requires salt and regular checks | No maintenance required | Requires a power source |
Environmental impact | Positive, no chemical waste, no electricity consumption | Positive, but CO2 needs to be recharged | Positive, chemical-free | Negative, use of salt, discharge into waste water | Positive, low impact | Positive, low impact |
Durability | Long service life | Long-lasting, if properly calibrated | Long term | Average, depending on maintenance | Medium to long | Medium to long |
Disadvantages | Slightly higher initial investment than systems such as magnetic or electronic limescale removers | High installation cost, requires regular refills of CO2, risk of corrosion if incorrectly calibrated | Less effective in very hard water, higher initial cost | Environmental impact, consumption of salt and water, costly maintenance | Limited effectiveness in areas of very hard water, depending on the strength of the magnets | Requires a source of electricity, efficiency dependent on the quality of the system |
