Part One
We are often asked about the benefits of installing an electronic water descaler vs. using a water softener. There are many reasons to consider the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler. For one, it is an affordable residential hard water solution. Second, it is effective in both lime scale removal and prevention. Let’s take a closer look:
Maintenance
ScaleBlaster is a residential hard water solution that requires no ongoing maintenance. Water softeners, on the other hand, not only require regular maintenance, but you also need to continually purchase chemicals and salt for them to properly function. Once installed, ScaleBlaster effectively does its job of lime scale removal and prevention with no ongoing service or maintenance needed.
Space
Water softeners are big, bulky and take up a lot of floor space. The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is compact and mounts on a wall near the incoming water line. Once ScaleBlaster is installed, you will never have to think about water scale removal and prevention again!
Installation
The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is extremely easy to install. Simply mount the unit on a wall and wrap the signal cable around the incoming cold-water supply line. There is no need to cut pipe and no special tools are required. It works on copper, PVC, CPVC & PEX pipe.
If you are looking for an affordable, dependable and effective residential hard water solution, look no further. The water scale removal and prevention benefits of ScaleBlaster surpass water softeners and it requires no maintenance. Our next article will cover the eco-friendly and health benefits of an electronic water descaler. ScaleBlaster residential models can be purchased at Home Depot (in-store and online), Lowes (online) and Costco (online).
