FAQ
Plumbing & water softener questions
Quick answers about our plumbing, hot water tank and anti-limescale solutions.
Which option should I choose: salt, CO₂ or Drago?
Salt-based softeners truly soften water (ion exchange): very effective but require salt and servicing. For CO₂, we mainly install SoluCalc®: salt-free treatment that limits scaling, preserves minerals and discharges no brine. Drago is a physical/electronic treatment with no salt and no discharge; performance depends on installation conditions. We recommend the best option after an on-site diagnosis.
Why SoluCalc for a CO₂ water softener?
SoluCalc® is an ecological CO₂ softener using food-grade CO₂: limescale is converted into soluble bicarbonate, protecting taps, water heaters and appliances without adding sodium. Compact, reliable and with a 5-year warranty, it suits homes in Lille and the metropolitan area looking for a modern alternative to salt. HFE handles installation, commissioning and CO₂ refills.
When is a slim (flat) hot water tank a good choice?
A slim (flat) tank is ideal when space is limited while maintaining good hot water comfort. We validate sizing and placement based on your usage and your home configuration.
Do you cover Lille only?
No. We operate in Lille and across the entire Lille metropolitan area (MEL) for repairs, renovations and installations: La Madeleine, Marcq-en-Barœul, Lambersart, Villeneuve-d’Ascq, Roubaix, Tourcoing, Wasquehal and surrounding towns.
Do you offer emergency plumbing repairs?
Yes. For any sanitary emergency (leak, overflow, no hot water), call our dedicated line on 06 13 46 67 90. We cover Lille and the metropolitan area subject to availability. For a major leak, shut off the water supply as close to the problem as possible (under-sink valve, toilet valve or main stopcock) while waiting for us.
