Water Conditioners

Water Conditioners Overview

Water Conditioners work by altering the crystallisation behaviour of Calcium and Magnesium ions such that they loose their ability to cause adhesive scale. Atlhough some are sceptical as to their effectiveness, there have been many cases where people have found them to be very successful.

Some manufacturers have set out to put the consumers mind at rest. For example, WaterImp commissioned Bath University (UK) to look into the effectiveness of their device, who confirmed that it does in fact reduce the deposition of scale. They also offer a 190 day money back guarantee and a 5 year warranty to encourage people to try it out for themselves.
