Electronic Water Descalers / softeners
"James Salisbury" wrote in message ... Hi, Do the above mentioned devices actually work? FWIW.... I used to descale the kettle frequently. I started using a Wickes electric conditioner and a Brita filter at the same time. I don't know which does the trick, but I no longer get any build up on the element. On taps etc. I do get some build up round the base but it is easier to shift and not so plentiful. I think it works, but I have no proof about dissolving existing scale. It might be working but I've no intention of taking my bot water cylinder to bits to find out. If offered my money back I would keep the gizmo. -- John Wood, Derby England.
