Water conditioners - Eddy Electronic, Aquabion, Halcyan

[john37]

In a hard water area, Thames Water....

Has anyone got any actual experience of Eddy Electronic, Aquabion and Halcyan water conditioners?

Tried em bud they dont live up to expectations, the only real way to soften your water supply is a salt water softner plenty out there to choose from regards kop

Yes, I know the salt water softeners do the job, they actually remove the "hardness", I've used one in the past. But in this property a salt water softener won't be suitable, I'm afraid.
So the question is, has anyone actually tried these water conditioners - Aquabion, Halcyan, Eddie Electronic - and has actual experience of how well they work?

The Physics is sketchy , for anything to work some cheap fitting somewhere is probably getting eaten , then a film forms any benefit fades...
Like many posts before the shame of admitting
it fails , and you paid good money is self silencing !
Unless anyone lives in a region where water chemistry is just right !
(please say where /combi-UVC--big,install/ /system-age/No. of users/----FOR a MAP)

Yes, I was just wondering if anyone found they worked at all.

The property is in London NW11, very well insulated, Viessmann Vitodens 100W system boiler with UFH and a 300l unvented indirect cylinder with a hot water circulating loop, mains pressure cold water, new install, 7 showers, 11 WCs, 11 basins, kitchen, utility. Typically 9 users a day for the showers, more users for the WCs/basins.

Of your list 2 use electronic methods
(the Jury has been dismissed several times)
, and one adds some Zinc.
I'm sceptical of its success (It's new to me)
(it may be trying to mimic ION exchange, the
succesfull -saline one ) Sales men !
Sorry could not be more optimistic/usefull.
