Thanks, Bob-tx http://www.easywater.com/howitworks.aspx 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. cheers Bob |

Especially since you can buy a real water softener for much less than that. |

My guess is he just wants people to go to the web site and possibly belived the BS and buy one. This has been posted in the past a couple of times too. |

Thanks, Bob-tx http://www.easywater.com/howitworks.aspx Great product for the seller, but not too good for the buyer. I'll put it on the same level as the "gasoline miser" and "laundry doughnut." |
