That says more about the gullibility of the public than about the product.
How many people can honestly say that their machine has needed repairing as a result of not using Calgon.

Hmm electromagnetic water softeners - there's another whole conversation about whether they are smoke and mirrors! Salt ones do work (and cost a lot more) not convinced these ones do

Sorry - I may have not been clear. The softener I had fitted was a salt one, not an electromagnetic one. I figured if I was going to have one fitted, I had better go for a solution which I knew actually worked as I had one in my last house.

No wasn't you - some one else posted (possibly spam I guess) as it has now gone! Salt ones certainly work although not cheap.
Makes my post look rather random now!

I considered this when I first moved in 11 years ago, but my inlet pipe was apparently too short. Hence have spent years scrubbing my bathroom to maintain it's sparkle.

You have my sympathies. As you know, it is a thankless task and even if you spend ages and loads of vinegar, it never ends up smear free.

When you say your inlet pipe is too short, I assume you mean the distance from your meter (?) to the first T joint is too short to divert the supply to a softener first.

A few years ago our kettle stopped working. The lady in the shop told my wife it was caused by the hard water.

t ! I thought and brought up a map of the Uk, we do not have hardwater here. I brought a printout and the shop decided there was a fault.

I would therefore suggest if you are in a hard-water area, this product may be useful, but elsewhere, probably not.

half a bottle of white vinegar run thru on 90 degree wash will sort most problems out
