Calgon Power Tabs

Calgon is a renowned brand of water softener and bath products, originally developed by the Calgon Corporation in the United States in the 1930s. The name 'Calgon' is a portmanteau derived from the phrase 'calcium gone,' highlighting its primary function of preventing limescale buildup in washing machines and household pipes.

Manufacturing of Calgon products occurs in several locations globally to serve regional markets, primarily within Europe and North America. The brand is particularly well-known for its laundry additive range, which is frequently recommended by leading appliance manufacturers like Bosch, Siemens, and Whirlpool to extend machine life. Today, Calgon is part of the extensive portfolio of Reckitt (formerly Reckitt Benckiser), an Anglo-Dutch multinational consumer goods giant.
