Calmat 1-6004-000USA Water Conditioner, Translucent and Black

I looked into this as we have hard water, but not so bad that I wanted to deal with a water softener and all that salt. I just was tired of cleaning off buildup on our faucets over time, and the little white rings on the countertops and sinks.It's been in for 10 days now, and we've noticed a big difference. Our drip tray on the refrigerator water dispenser used to be a big problem with unsightly marks that were hard to clean off. They are now gone and not reappearing.Installation was simple. Coiling the wires around the pipe is the worst part--not difficult, but tedious. But you only have to do two of them and you're done!

This thing really works. My house is 72 years old with Galvanized pipe. We have HARD water and of course its built up inside the pipes. When I bought my house 18 years ago, it came with a broken water softener and several bags of salt. I didn't want to spend 2 thousand on a water softener so I just lived with it... after so many years, the corrosion has gotten to the point where I was considering removing all of the pipes from my house and replacing with plastic. When I saw something like this at Hom e Creepo , I decided to look into it. THIS one Calmat had the best worldwide reputation and works differently than most scale blasters so I took a chance and bought it.for $350, 2 months after install I can tell you it REALLY works!!!! I have been out of rise aid for months in my dishwasher but now don't need it, my glasses come out spotless! no more crap around the faucets too , it also got rid of a problem I was having with a instant hot water heater not sensing moving water and therefor not heating it... LOVE THIS CALMAT!

This worked far better than expected. Easy to install. The white deposits that are on some thingsin the dishwasher are gone. And the water dispenser on the fridge is clean!

I purchased this item 6 months ago - too bad the return window for this item is gone. So the money is lost. My sinks, dishwasher, and faucets still have an immense amount of scaling and white residue. This product does not work. I tried various set-up configurations to see if these is a change. But none of the changes have an effect. Today I am installing a water softener which uses the old salt solution, I have had that before, but wanted to safe money. Now I lost $330 dollars for the "snake oil" solution.

First of all, why was one of the rating questions “Flavor” ? I gave this product One Star for Flavor. Was I supposed to taste this plumbing accessory? Am I supposed to taste ALL of my amazon purchases? I must admit I have not been doing that. I can certainly start doing that.This product was promoted to serve as a solution to old pipes that corrode and limit flow, by generating an electrical pulse that helps clear the pipes over time.Does that actually happen?How on earth would I know?I can’t see that my water flow is improved at all, or if the water is now more sanitary.The thing was installed, it runs, I’m a sucker, I hope it helps.It’s not too expensive so if you’re a sucker too it’s a low risk sort of thing, why not try it out.

No more lugging bags of salt, breaking my back trying to get them in the softener reservoir.... NO MORE SALT. Whew! We bought this product for our home 2 years ago for a quarter of what a new salt water system cost. It took about 20 minutes to install, with no tools needed. Every month I test our water softness with the strips I purchased and every month our water test indicates our water is soft. The calcium deposits on the inside on my dishwasher, toilets and showers are gone. We just purchased it again for our rental property and our renters love it. I would buy this produce again and again if needed. Great value, ease of installation and the product works without you having to do anything. Nothing but happy!!

We had high hopes for this product because we have well water and heavy mineral content. It doesn't do the job for us.

Well, the product box and the product description doesn't mention how much length of pipe you need to fully wrap the cable. My installation had to use one wrap vertical, one horizontal. The pictures seem to show the width of one side of the completed wrap being less than the width of the device. Left me wondering why it visually didn't "match". Should I have double wrapped? Does the wires need to be wrapped in the same direction? Should've had more clear directions. I got this on the payment plan. We'll see if it changes the water and descales all the buildup. I'm skeptical.
