Have you looked at the ads?

"The ED2000 functions by wrapping two antenna cables around the main water pipe to form a coil, creating a complex, frequency modulated, electronicmagnetic waveform. This induces an oscillating electric field into the water, resulting in the agitation of water molecules sufficient enough to trigger the release of carbon dioxide and cause the premature precipitation of calcium bicarbonate. This process naturally results in a small increase in solubility, which allows the now unsaturated water to dissolve existing scale deposits and remove them from the water system. Limescale deposits on your fixtures will soften over time after regular contact with the treated water from the ED2000."

Looks like pure snake oil to me.

Have you ever used a hard water system like this? iSpring-ED2000-Electronic-Descaler-Conditioner you can find it on amazon if the link does not come through.

This is what I am wanting to use. It sends pulses through the water to suspend the minerals, etc so it will not scale your pipes, etc.



I have lived with wells and water treatment systems since 1995, and have never traced any RFI to them.  In that time, I had a WaterBoss (for 20 years) and a Whirlpool for the last 5+ years. Both were/are digital, so far as the timer is concerned.  It's important to remember that they are only really active during the recharge cycle - in the case of my current Whirlpool, that's 2 hrs 45 minutes  every 3-4 days.

 It sounds like you're being hustled - Both units I've had are self-contained, and were both simple to install and trouble-free. The biggest WaterBoss - for the hardest water - is only $505 and Home Depot offers free shipping to your home.

I should have mentioned I was also given the option of just replacing the tanks (softener and neutralizer) and valves, but I guess keeping the mechanical control mechanism? Im new to well water treatment systems so I’m not sure if there’s any disadvantage to the tank replacement vs total system upgrade.

I emailed 4 companies and got almost nothing back.

One company would only say it complied with part 15.

I still have not bought one because of RFI questions.

We need a new water treatment system (we’re on well water) and all the new systems are digital. Anyone experienced RFI from a new system? Or just treat it like any electric device?
