Non-binding sample calculation: Based on an initial investment of CHF 1,500 and annual operating costs of CHF 24 for DAXTRO, as well as an initial investment of CHF 3,380 and annual annual operating costs for the ion exchanger. For calculation purposes, operating costs increase annually by 2%. Actual prices depend, among other factors, on the building, installation costs, water consumption, the provider, service intervals, and local water and energy prices.
