Title: Scaleblaster for hard water

I had never even heard of this technology until I got an email from Costco today listing the current sales.  We are on a well, and have moderate mineral buildup.  Has anyone used this and has an opinion on it?

I have a salt/membrane water softener, never heard of this scale buster.

It sounds like it's just another variation on the magnets that you would put on the pipes... which didn't work.

I don't know if Scaleblaster works for not.

But, were I to need a water softener, I'd probably go with one of the citric acid systems.

This. It's a modern'd-up version of clamping magnets to your water line. There is some evidence it might limit scaling in certain industrial environments, but as a general whole-house water softener it's wasted money.

This innovative product produces an oscillating electronic field using a unique and complex modulating frequency wave form that changes the physical shape, size and charge of the calcium molecules (the cause of hard water and lime scale formation).

This. A bunch of scientific sounding gobbledygook that really means nothing IMO.

Ha!  No wonder my well water softened up when I keyed my transmitter at the old farm.  Ha!

Hey, maybe you can replace the cow magnets on your car's fuel line with scaleblaster and get even BETTER gas mileage!
