I heard a radio ad for this water softener product, and checked it
out.

It smells a lot like snake oil to me, and at a high price.
Anyone have any experience or opinion?
Thanks, Bob-tx

The technical papers I have read from UCSD & some U back east
(Drexel?) support the science BUT multiple passes work best.

imo single pass would be of limited effectiveness & really lend itself
to a home installation.

There are very expensive, large (2" to 16"+) units for commercial apps
but these depend on a recirculating systems (think cooling tower) and
a means to remove precipitated hardness (CaCO3)

I might give one a try on a DIY install on a water heater recirc loop
but not at $850.
The most I'd risk is more like $200.

If you;re really interested, ask *them about a hot water install with
a recirc loop, if they have a trial (money back guarantee) and offer
them less than full price. $850 is nuts.
.
If you buy with a credit card & have a money back guarantee, it's
really easy to get your bank (or American Express) to yank back your
payment.
