Capacitive Electronic Water Descaler Whole House Solution - No-Salt Softener System, Reduces Limescale Effects and Mineral Buildup - Model CWD230, Compatible with Pipes Up of to 2 Inches

My 4th and hopefully final descaler, purchased the Yarna CWD48 for just 100$ more than than the residential model, just from experience Phoenix residents need commercial level descalers that can handle the Phoenix water 900ppm irrigating at 50gpm.Pros: Fastest install ever, thick copper bands wind quick, outdoor waterproof , so small can put anywhere, live oscilloscope display, (I don't have to use my own oscilloscope to check status of my descaler any more. Treats up to 4" pipe, 1.2 miles, that's industrial grade , it will have no problem handling 900ppm at 50gpgI have been using electronic descalers for the past 10yrs to reduce amount of mineral build up in the kitchen and bathrooms, to make cleaning easy, and less frequent, no ring around the toilet bowl, any calcium build up on plastic shower heads wipes of with a sponge once a month or every other month.Added bonuses:my lawn irrigation drip system and sprinklers have very little build up and require little to no maintenance cleaning/changing heads, Haven't changed a drip or sprinkler head since I moved in 4yrs ago, which is rare in phoenix for drip systems have about 20 drip heads running all year and 20 sprinklers with K Rain (screw on) rotary heads.My misting system requires very little maintenance with a occasional cleaning of a few heads during the year, for a system of 40 misters with 0.3mm orifice this is unheard of in phoenix.This is my 4th electronic descaler :At first I didn't understand the importance for testing gpg/ppm which in Phoenix uses well water in the summer goes as high as 900ppm /52gpg drops to 500-600 in winter when it uses surface water.So Phoenix area residents require a descaler that will go up to at least 60gpg or 1000ppm, typical residential models are not designed for use in phoenix especially when you want to use for irrigation system which is up to 50gpm at 850ppm, you need to buy a industrial/commercial descaler or note the gpm and gpg rating if buying a residentalMy 1st descaler DIY PCB descaler, square wave generator - noticed enough difference that convinced me descalers do workCons: low power 12-18Volts ,50 windings, weak inductance, constant frequencypros :great starter model for 20$Scale Blaster residential model SB-70 - noticed a bigger difference.Pros: good product for 75$ used, would work well in northern citiesCons: had to mount indoors and runs signal wire out through wall required a lot of windings, only up to 19gpg,Industrial/commercial (SB Max older version which treats up to 100gpg) - worked excellent, great product. very expensive retail 999$ found used for 399$ ,very large had to install inside the house all though it is rated for outdoor use I couldn't find the information on heat tolerance levels and customer service via phone didn't or wouldn't give that information cause the model was discontinued, long summers of 120F create internal temps of southern exposed metal machine towards 160F I assumed that would shorten the life significantly. so I ran the signal wire through the wall and had to wrap the wire 210 windings around 3/4inch incoming copper, which was really difficult, would still be using it but after 4yrs of use the wave generator became very loud, since it was inside the house it was disrupting sleep at night, so I gave it away.(Newer model of SB-Max only treats up to 40gpg can't use in Phoenix)

I have a cabin in central Minnesota. The water out of my well tested at a hardness or 500 ppm / 30 grains per gallon hardness. Since the cabin is only a 3 seasons, I have been renting a water softener from Culligan. After a bad experience with the Culligan service team I decided not to rent their water softener and decided to give the Yarna CWD30 a try. I paid $339 and seemed a bit pricey, but is cheaper than a water softener and I do not have to worry about where to store it come winter (that's why I rented the water softener from Culligan since they came and removed it and stored it over winter).The Yarna CWD30 has been installed and operating for the last 4 weeks. Installation was EASY, simply involved finding a place to wrap the wires along the incoming water line into the cabin. The system requires around 30" of pipe length and ended up putting mine along a 90 degree bend.I can saw now after using for 4 weeks that it WORKS! If my water was not softened the toilet, shower, sinks, & fixtures would become stained from the hard water. With the Yarna CWD30 operating, I do not have any problems with staining.One comment to those considering a capacitive water descaling system - I have pretty hard water with significant iron and this descaling system is keeping my sinks, toilet, etc from getting stained and cruddy HOWEVER the water will still look a bit stained. For example, water out of my well looks like tea and after treating with the Culligan water softener was mostly clear but with the capacitive water descaler it has a slight tint of amber; so the capacitive water descaler is not removing the minerals from my water but it is keeping these minerals from depositing on my sinks, toilets, and plumbing like they advertise.In my opinion, I can deal with a slight tint in my well water as long as the system is keeping my sinks, toilets, shower, and fixtures clean - it's worth it not having to deal with a water softener and buying salt that is then going into my septic every time a softener has to recharge!

Well I'm giving this a shot. We have a well and pressure tank. Our water maxed out the hardness strips when I tested I five minutes before install. Install is super easy but with limited space I really struggled to get it wrapped around the pipe a minimum of nine times like it said. I saw where someone else said to let it overlap rather than leave a gap so I tried to do that. We live where it's extremely cold and have wires along the pipes as well to keep them from freezing in the winter so I'm not sure if that will hinder it or not. I contacted support through email because everyone said they are amazing, I wasn't super impressed and I'm really frustrated because I sent emails with videos and pictures asking how to do it better, if this was acceptable, if this would work. I just got canned responses back saying to give it time. So no help with install at all, the only helpful response was that it has to be before the pressure tank or it won't make much difference. If you have a lot of exposed pipe I'm sure this would be easy but we have a small area and this has me unsure about whether it will work. The lack of tech support makes me less likely to recommend this as the reason I went with this product was because of the rave reviews about tech support.Edit:It's been a few months. The hardness strips are still maxed out but now there is a white powdery substance on EVERYTHING our water touches. I'm not sure what's going on but I'm not a fan and there has been no customer service assistance. Our water is still itchy and our skin is still rough feeling and our shower heads are getting clogged with the white powder. For this amount of money I definitely recommend something else. This won't help your hard water.
