Water Softeners
While water is in the ground, it picks up soluble bits of
whatever it passes through. While this can mean
contamination that makes the water unfit to drink, in many
cases it simply means that the water contains minerals
found in the earth. Of these, calcium and magnesium are of
particular importance because they affect the water's
ability to function in our homes. These minerals make our
water hard.
One effect of hard water is that soaps and detergents lose
some effectiveness. Instead of dissolving completely, soap
combines with the minerals to form a coagulated soap
curd. Because less soap is dissolved, more is required.
And the sticky insoluble curd hangs around--it clings to the
skin and may actually inhibit cleansing. Washed hair
seems dull and lifeless.
In addition to affecting the actual washing process,
insoluble soap deposits leave spots on everything you
wash--from your dishes to the family car--and a soap film
will build up in your bath and shower.
Another reason to be concerned about hard water is its
effect on your plumbing system. Calcium and magnesium
deposits can build up in pipes, reducing flow to taps and
appliances. In water heaters, these minerals generate a
scale buildup that reduces the efficiency and life of the
heater.

What is ScaleBlaster?
Clean and Efficient
Water softeners, using salt, discharge brines that can pollute the environment. For
this reason they have been banned in parts of the U.S. ScaleBlaster™ is eco-friendly,
UL-listed and validated by EPA approved laboratories and major universities.
ScaleBlaster™ eliminates 'limescale' - mineral deposits that clog and corrode water
pipes, water heaters, dishwashers, faucets, drains and showerheads. It also puts
an end to soap scum and staining of sinks, bathtubs, shower doors and commodes.
ScaleBlaster™ increases the efficiency of water heaters-lowering energy bills.
Amazingly, it extends the life of water pipes and appliances, makes it easier to clean
and shine all surfaces, reduces soap and detergent use by up to 25%, not to mention
it gives a softer feel to the skin, hair and clothing.
No maintenance or chemicals required
A great feature about ScaleBlaster™ is that no maintenance or chemicals are
required. No trips to the store for large bags of salt. ScaleBlaster™ operates
automatically 24/7, using less energy than a nightlight! Installation is simple with no
special tools or plumbing work required! The unit comes with a full 5-year warranty
and has an expected 20-25 year lifespan. There is a 100% satisfaction guarantee or
your money back! Tens of thousands of units have been sold since 1995 and it was
recently featured on HGTV.
