Install an Electronic Descaling System - I Already Have a Water Softener. Can I Still Install an Electronic Descaling System?

We understand that you may already have a water softener installed and are apprehensive about adding an electronic descaling system for fear that it may interfere with its performance. The ScaleBlaster hard water descaler can improve the quality of softened water, and also save you money on salt.  Let’s take a closer look at some reasons why you may want to install an electronic descaling system even of you have an existing water softener.

Does Not Interfere with Water Softening Systems

The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler does not interfere at all with your water softening system. In some cases, especially those where there is extremely hard water, a water softener may not resolve some issues. The ScaleBlaster hard water descaler will not only resolve these issues, but it is a limescale eliminator that is effective in water scale removal and prevents new scale from forming.

May Allow Your Water Softener to Operate with Less Salt

The ScaleBlaster hard water descaler can actually reduce the amount of salt needed in your water softener. How much, of course, depends on your water softening system, but, in cases where an electronic water descaler does allow you to use less salt in your water softener, you will save money while reducing sodium levels in your water.

The ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system has been helping homeowners tackle limescale and the problems it causes for more than 40 years. We invite those with existing water softeners to add a hard water descaler and see what a difference it can make. ScaleBlaster can be purchased at Home Depot. It is also available online at Home Depot, Lowes, and Costco. We invite you to pick one up and give it a try today!

Electronic Descaling System - What Does an Electronic Descaling System Actually Do to Resolve Water Problems?

There is sometimes confusion when it comes to the differences between a water softener, a water filtration system, and a hard water descaler.  Today, we will take a closer look at what an electronic descaling system does to resolve water issues. Let’s get started:

Addresses the Minerals that Cause Water Hardness

The ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system addresses calcium carbonate and other “hard” minerals in your water by causing them to lose their adhesive properties. This is achieved using and inaudible signal at sonic frequencies that causes turbulence in the water molecules and ion exchange in the mineral atoms. Essentially, the “signal” emitted by the ScaleBlaster hard water descaler causes the ions to collide with each other to the point where calcium crystals grow and become large enough to where there are no more surface charges left to stick to any surface.

Addresses Other Types of Biological Contaminants

Bacteria and algae are among the biological contaminants that can be broken up by an electronic descaling system, preventing them from adhering to surfaces. This is not only beneficial for homes, but it is an important component of industrial hard water descaling as well.

The ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system is a proven and trusted hard water descaler that is not only effective in water scale removal, but also prevents new scale from forming. Once installed, it acts as a limescale eliminator, working to get rid of existing scale that is causing problems. It is much more affordable than a water softener or water filtration system. An additional benefit of a hard water descaler is that it requires no ongoing maintenance. Stop by Home Depot or visit Home Depot, Lowe’s, or Costco online to purchase ScaleBlaster.

Test Hard Water - How Can I Test My Home for Hard Water?

The hardness of your water can determine what issues you may be presented with in the future. Fortunately, a hard water descaler is an effective limescale eliminator that also prevents new scale from forming, so even if you have extremely hard water, you can easily resolve the problems it may be causing or will cause soon. In fact, the ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system is one of the most effective water scale removal and prevention solutions on the market today. Even if your water is only slightly hard, you can benefit from having a hard water descaler for your home. Let’s look at some ways to determine if you have hard water:

Test Strips

Hard water test strip kits can be purchased at most hardware and/or home improvement stores. Simply dip the strip into a sample of your water. The strip will change color, which you can then match per the kit instructions to indicate the level of hard water.

Water Reports

Your county or city will generally have readily available reports on the quality of water in your area. Some municipalities even post them online. If you are unable to locate them online, then contact the municipality that supplies your water and request the report.

The Bottle Test

If you want a quick and easy way to test your home for hard water, then you can always count on the old standard – the bottle test.  Simply take a clean, clear bottle and fill it about ½ to ¾ with water from your tap. Then, place 10-12 drops of unscented, clear soap into the bottle and shake it. If the water has few bubbles and is cloudy then you likely have hard water. While this is not a scientific indicator of hard water, it will give you a good idea if you may have an issue or not.

Tackling hard water problems doesn’t need to be difficult or expensive. The ScaleBlaster electronic descaling system is easy to install and requires no ongoing maintenance, making it one of the most affordable and effective water scale removal and prevention solutions on the market today. The ScaleBlaster hard water descaler can be purchased at Home Depot (in-store and online) and online at Lowe’s and Costco.  We invite you to give it a try today!

Residential hardwater solution - Reverse Osmosis System Maintenance

One of the most attractive features about the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is that it requires no ongoing maintenance, making it one of the preferred hard water treatment options on the market today. We are continuing our series discussing the maintenance required for reverse osmosis systems.  Our previous article discussed the importance of checking and changing the sediment filter and carbon filter. Today, we will look at two more types of reverse osmosis system filters that require ongoing maintenance.

Membrane

The reverse osmosis membrane is generally the most expensive of all filters used in a reverse osmosis system. It is semi-permeable, allowing water to pass through while filtering out any contaminants that were not caught by the sediment and carbon filters.  If your sediment and carbon filters are properly maintained and in good condition, the reverse osmosis membrane may need to be replaced every two years or as recommended by the manufacturer. An electronic water descaler has no parts or components that need to be maintained or replaced.

Polishing Filter

Polishing filters are used in four-stage reverse osmosis systems to remove anything else that remains in the water.  They are designed to ensure the water tastes good and does not have any foul odors.  An electronic water descaler has no filters to replace, period.

If you are seeking a true residential hard water solution, then look no further.  The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is one of the most popular and effective hard water treatment options on the market today. Best of all, it is also a limescale eliminator that is extremely effective in water scale removal/pipe scale removal. Don’t settle for an inferior residential hard water solution. You and your family deserve the best!  ScaleBlaster can be purchased at Home Depot (in-store and online) and online at Lowe’s and Costco. Give it a try today.

Electronic Water Descaler vs. Reverse Osmosis System Maintenance

in , , ,

Limescale eliminator - Electronic Water Descaler vs. Reverse Osmosis System Maintenance

A reverse osmosis system is designed to remove contaminants from water, specifically chlorine and sediments.  Some people believe that a reverse osmosis system is a residential hard water solution, but it really does not resolve hard water problems on its own (we will discuss this in a future article). Unlike an electronic water descaler, a reverse osmosis system is not a limescale eliminator and is not known for being effective at water scale removal/pipe scale removal.  It also requires ongoing maintenance and the replacement of filters and the membrane. Our next series of articles will discuss the different types of filters that need to be replaced as part of your ongoing reverse osmosis system maintenance. Let’s get started:

Sediment Filter

A reverse osmosis system has a sediment filter that catches silt, dirt, sand, and other types of sediment before it infiltrates the reverse osmosis membrane. If sediment reaches the reverse osmosis membrane, it will cause it to clog. The sediment filter should be replaced once a year or more as recommended by the manufacturer.  An electronic water descaler does not have a sediment filter to maintain or replace.

Carbon Filter

Carbon filters are used in reverse osmosis systems to filter out contaminants that could negatively affect the odor and taste of your water. Examples of contaminants include chlorine, lead, nitrates, and pesticides. Your carbon filter should be checked and replaced every six months or more depending on the quality of your water. An electronic water descaler does not have any carbon filters to worry about checking or replacing.

When it comes to hard water treatment options, the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is the preferred residential hard water solution because it is affordable, effective, and requires no ongoing maintenance. ScaleBlaster can be purchased at Home Depot (in-store and online) and online at Lowe’s and Costco. We encourage you to buy one today, we promise you won’t be disappointed!

Electronic water descaler - Water Softener Maintenance

We are continuing our series on water softener maintenance. As we discussed in a previous article, the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is a popular residential hard water solution because it requires no ongoing maintenance. A water softener, on the other hand, is one of the hard water treatment options that does require a lot of maintenance. Our previous article discussed the need to clean the resin tank, replace the resin, and also drain and clean the brine tank.  Today, we will look at two more water softener maintenance requirements.

Clean and Adjust Valves

A water softener has valves that need to be cleaned at a minimum of twice a year. The valve between the resin and brine tanks needs to be cleaned each time the brine tank becomes clogged. The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler has no valves or parts that need to be disassembled or cleaned. In fact, unlike with a water softener, no water or chemicals run through the ScaleBlaster system at all.

Inspect Regularly

If you have a water softener, it is a good idea to inspect your equipment regularly, ideally every two or three months.  You will need to specifically check for bridging, which is when salt builds up in the brine tank, resulting in the salt not being able to contact the water and preventing the resin beads from being effective. This ultimately causes the water to not be properly softened. The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is a residential hard water solution that does not need to be inspected on a regular basis.

If you want an affordable, maintenance free, effective residential hard water solution, then look no further. The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is one of the most popular hard water treatment options on the market today. It is also a limescale eliminator that is effective in water scale removal / pipe scale removal.  The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is available at Home Depot (in-store and online) and online at Lowe’s and Costco.

Maintaining Water Softeners - Maintaining Water Softeners vs. An Electronic Water Descaler

There are many differences between a water softener and an electronic water descaler.  Previous articles covered the costs involved with a water softener.  An electronic water descaler has an advantage over water softeners and other hard water treatment options because it is also a limescale eliminator which is effective in pipe scale removal/water scale removal. Our next series of articles will cover more differences between a water softener and an electronic water descaler, specifically when it comes to maintenance.  Let’s get started:

Resin Tank

If you choose a water softener as your residential hard water solution, expect to clean its resin tank at least every six months or more if your tank accumulates a lot of excess grime, gunk and other buildup.  Additionally, you may need to replace the resin on occasion, especially if the system is exposed to chlorinated water. An electronic water descaler does not use resin and is one of the few hard water treatment options that does not require any maintenance.

Brine Tank

Water softeners have a brine tank that needs to be cleaned on a regular basis.  This is generally performed during a time when the salt is low. You will need to first drain the brine tank and remove the salt grid.  You can then proceed with cleaning, being sure to remove any sediment, sludge, or salt that is in the tank and then scrubbing/washing it with dishwasher detergent.  An electronic water descaler is a residential hard water solution that has no tank to clean, thus requiring no ongoing maintenance.

Our next article will discuss more differences between the maintenance of a water softener and electronic water descaler.

If you are seeking an affordable, efficient, and effective residential hard water solution, then we invite you to consider ScaleBlaster.  In fact, it is one of the most popular hard water treatment options on the market today.  Don’t settle for costly alternatives.  ScaleBlaster can be purchased at Home Depot (in-store and online) and online at Lowe’s and Costco.

What Water Softeners Really Cost - What Water Softeners Really Cost

Water softeners are one of the most popular hard water treatment options people consider when they need a residential hard water solution.  However, buyer beware as there are many hidden costs associated with water softeners. We are continuing our series discussing what water softeners really cost. Our previous article covered installation and permits, taxes and fees. Today, we will look at more costs associated with water softeners.

Salt

Water softeners require a lot of salt to operate, making it among the more expensive hard water treatment options.  Bags of salt are heavy, cumbersome, and can be costly depending on where you live.  If you choose a water softener as your residential hard water solution, be prepared to take time to go to the store to purchase bags of salt on a regular basis or hire someone to do this for you. An electronic water descaler does not require any salt or chemicals.

Maintenance

Unlike an electronic water descaler which requires no maintenance, water softeners are among the hard water treatment options that require a lot of maintenance, including cleaning tanks and valves and regular sanitation. Water softener maintenance is very time consuming.  Some homeowners choose to hire a professional to handle this for them. We will discuss water softener maintenance more in future articles.

Water and Sewer Costs

Water softeners can produce anywhere from 20 to 50 gallons of extra wastewater per cycle.  This results in increased water and sewer costs. An electronic water descaler does not produce any wastewater or require additional water usage.

If you are researching hard water treatment options and seeking a dependable and affordable residential hard water solution, then look no further. The ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is not only one of the most effective hard water treatment options on the market, but it is also a limescale eliminator that is effective in pipe scale removal/water scale removal as well.

Hidden Costs Of Water Softeners - Hidden Costs Of Water Softeners

There are many types of hard water treatment options available for homeowners looking for a residential hard water solution.  If you are considering a water softener, it is important to understand all of the costs involved.  Our next series of articles will uncover some of the hidden costs of water softeners.  Let’s get started:

Installation

Installing a water softener is something most homeowners hire someone to do. If you choose to do it yourself, you will need to follow some very specific steps to ensure proper installation. Some of these steps include shutting off the water and even cutting into the main water line, which can be risky and should be performed by an experienced professional. In contrast, the ScaleBlaster electronic water descaler is the easiest residential hard water solution to install, especially compared to other types of hard water treatment options.  Simply wrap the signal cable around the incoming water pipe and plug it in. Many homeowners choose to install their electronic water descaler themselves rather hiring someone to install it for them.

Permits, Taxes and Other Fees

Depending on where you live, you may be subject to local permitting requirements, taxes, and other fees (i.e. inspections, etc.) when installing a water softener.

Our next article will explore more hidden costs of water softeners.
