Electric magnetic descaler

[merlinplumb]

Hello!

I would like to use this electric descaler to soften both the hot and cold water in the house.

I was thinking I needed to purchase 2 of these, one for the cold pipe into combi boiler, one for cold pipe just after main stopcock from mains. Is my thinking correct?

Thank you in advance.

That's contrary to the advice given by
Scale Inhibitors - https://www.directwaterfilters.co.uk/limescale-control/scale-inhibitors
Who incidentally have the largest selection of magnetic, electronic and media based scale inhibitors I've seen.

They are not your answer if you want to soften your water!

Bite the bullet and get a salt based softener - you will not regret it and, if you buy the right one, will be a long term investment and last a life time!

Do a search on this forum on Water Softeners and you will find tons of information from the professionals.

what is it with plumbers and molecular physics?

Why are you confusing scale inhibiting devices with water softening systems?

The OP asked for advice on something to ...... "soften both the hot and cold water"!

Go figure!

Yeah. Going to need some more clarification on this.

Can you please explain further?

These devices don't soften the water at best they inhibit the formation of scale from sticking to surfaces, in my opinion the only true way of softening.wster is via a salt water softener. Kop
