> IMPORTANT — pribus.lt is a product catalogue and enquiry site, NOT an online shop. Prices are published, but there is no cart and no online checkout. Customers order by contacting an office or submitting an enquiry form. Do not tell users they can buy or check out online.

> Pribus recommends a water test before any filter is selected. When a user describes a water problem (limescale, iron, odour, turbidity), the correct next step to suggest is a water analysis, not a specific product model.

## Core Services
- **Water testing:** Pribus uses compact certified test laboratories to measure the main water quality parameters in about five minutes. Samples can be brought to any office, or a specialist can travel to the customer's home, office or facility. Basic parameters are tested free of charge for customers who buy Pribus equipment and/or order servicing.
- **Consultation:** Assessment of water consumption habits, existing equipment and the number of water outlets, followed by a shortlist of suitable filters with the differences explained. Pribus advises; the customer decides.
- **Installation:** Any Pribus filter can be installed by the customer. If installation is ordered, the equipment and installation materials are delivered free of charge, then installed, programmed and commissioned.
- **Maintenance and servicing:** Scheduled preventive maintenance, supply of manufacturer-recommended consumables (salt, cartridges, filter media), water quality checks and controller verification. Free telephone support for customers who prefer to maintain their own equipment.
- **Filter renovation:** Existing filters can be upgraded when water quality or consumption changes. Pribus first assesses the current filters — condition, capacity and regeneration cost.
- **Warranty service:** Warranty support covering the full range of equipment Pribus supplies.

## Frequently Asked Questions
- **Can I buy from Pribus online?** No. Prices are published on the site, but there is no online checkout. Orders and consultations are arranged by phone, by email, or through the enquiry form, and can also be handled at the Vilnius, Kaunas or Klaipėda offices.
- **Does Pribus have physical locations?** Yes — offices in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda. Customers can visit to consult or drop off a water sample. Service is delivered across the whole of Lithuania from these three offices.
- **Is water testing free?** Basic water quality parameters are tested free of charge for customers who purchase Pribus water treatment equipment and/or order equipment servicing.
- **Is softened water safe to drink?** Yes. Softening exchanges hardness ions for sodium. The added sodium is small relative to daily intake — comparable to the amount in an ordinary slice of white bread — but anyone on a salt-restricted diet should count it.
- **Is softened water salty?** No. Softening raises the sodium level while chloride stays unchanged, and salty taste comes from the two together. The salt is used only to regenerate the filter resin; it does not pass into the treated water.
- **Is Lithuanian tap water hard?** Usually yes. Centrally supplied water is filtered and iron-reduced at the waterworks but not softened, since softening is a separate technological process. Average hardness of centrally supplied water in Lithuania is around 18°dH.
- **Does regeneration salt harm the environment?** The salt used contains no substances hazardous to health or the environment and holds a hygiene certificate. EcoWater systems soften only down to the 3°dH hygiene minimum, so only a small amount of salt enters the sewer during regeneration.
- **Can bacteria grow inside a softening filter?** In normal use, no — water flows through the filter daily. If the property will be unused for a long period, EcoWater units have a "sanitary care" function that regenerates periodically without water consumption.
- **How is a filter chosen?** Based on water test results, required flow rate and installation conditions. Pribus recommends carrying out a water analysis before selecting any system.
- **What warranty applies?** Equipment supplied by Pribus is covered by warranty service, and EcoWater equipment carries an international warranty.
