Miostar Entkalkerharz

When the resin is completely orange.

Hello francinelachat,
Thank you for your question! 💧
The antilimestone resin sachet should be replaced when its effectiveness diminishes, i.e. when you notice that limescale is returning or that the water is no longer sufficiently softened.
As a general rule, depending on water hardness and frequency of use, it is advisable to change the sachet approximately every 1 to 3 months.
👉 If you use your appliance often (like an iron) or if your water is very hard, more frequent replacement may be necessary.
Quick tip: if you notice that your appliance is starting to scale up faster, or that the water has an unusual odor, it's probably time to change the sachet.

Hello Sankukai,
Thank you for your question about our Entkalkerharz product. We understand your concerns and would like to provide you with some clarification.
The resin beads used in our product are not classified as microplastics. Microplastics are generally plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size, often resulting from the degradation of larger plastic objects.
We recognize that handling resin beads can be tricky. To minimize losses, we recommend using a funnel when filling and carefully following the instructions provided.
We hope this information answers your questions.
The Migros Specialty Markets team.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I agree with your definition of "microplastic", but could you tell me more about the composition of these resin beads? What do we mean by resin? Is it plastic or a non-polluting resin? If it's plastic, the packaging should specify that it absolutely must not end up in the drain.
Best regards

Hello Sankukai,
Thank you for your inquiry and for your interest in our products.
MioStar anti-scale resin is a synthetic ion exchanger.
The word "plastic" has been indicated on the packaging, as this is a synthetic resin which is not food-grade. It is intended for ironing only, due to the color indicator used.
We therefore recommend that you do not introduce undiluted granules or large quantities into the sewage system.
Wherever possible, we recommend that you dispose of the granules with your household waste.
Granules are harmless in small quantities (e.g. when the container is rinsed).
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
