From now on, you'll find the Besjaar Guide on besjaar.eu: practical articles about limescale, water hardness, shower filters and shower heads. Every guide is available in Dutch, English, German, French and Spanish.
Why a guide?
Limescale, water pressure and filters raise a lot of questions. How hard is my water? Is a shower filter worth it? Why is my shower spraying in all directions? In the guide we answer those questions as honestly as we can, with sources where possible. No exaggerated promises: we also tell you what a product doesn't do.
