Here is Why You Should NOT Buy The Eddy Descaler

Why You Should NOT Buy The Eddy Descaler

The Eddy electronic water descaler is a salt-free solution for hard water problems.

Now it is very important that we clarify something before proceeding.

This is not a water softener.

The chemical composition of your water will not change. Instead it changes the way your water reacts with pipes and equipment. This is achieved through the use of electromagnetism.

Also, although the Eddy mimics the outcomes of a water softener it does not alter the total dissolved solids (TDS) of water.

This means that everything in your water (both good and bad) will remain.

So Do Electronic Water Softeners Actually Work?

Technically no, they do not.

This is because they do not remove hard minerals (magnesium, calcium etc.) from water so the water is not actually “softened”.

These minerals are problems for pipes and plumbing fixtures because they produce limescale. The Eddy works by changing the chemical state of the water instead of just removing the hard minerals like a regular softener.

So yes  the water is still “hard” but Eddy claim to be able to reduce the negative effects of hard water by ‘reconditioning’ the water.

Eddy Electronic Water Descaler: Pros & Cons

How The Eddy Works

Although the Eddy water softener is advertised as a water softener, it has some important features.

What is unique here is the fact that it is indeed an electronic device and not a cassette (even though it looks like one).

The machine has spools that will wrap around your pipes and plumbings.

It creates an electromagnetic wave that interacts with water. This magnetic field passes through its inflowing water. Its main objective is to prevent lime from sticking in the pipes.

The system is fully electronic and works with a 110 volt power supply. The power consumption is minimal and works at only 5 watts. If you consider that the average light bulb has a power of 40 watts, you can see that the Eddy is very energy efficient.

This system is virtually maintenance free. There’s nothing to clean or change, and I would only recommend checking to see if the lights are on, especially after a power outage.

** 2 Week Update (The ONLY follow up to this video so far) **

“2 Week Update (thanks for asking Tony) We cleaned up the water spots in our sinks and fixtures after the install and noticed pretty much right away that the water spots were much “softer” and seem to accumulate less as the water runs off of the side of the sinks better. However, we did have iron streaks reappear in the stool in a few days time. This is partially due to my toilet leaking through a tiny amount of water into the bowl between flushes but we were hoping that the iron would be prevented from sticking. Like I said though Eddy does not claim that this will prevent iron stains. I’ll give it some more time but due to the iron in our water we may need to still add a water softener at some point if we don’t find a solution to the iron in the toilet problem. I’ll update again in the future. Thanks guys.”

Eddy Magnetic Water Descaler

The Eddy Electronic Descaler is a very attractive proposal for three main reasons:

1. It is much cheaper than a conventional water softener.
2. You don’t need to use salt for it to work.
3. Doesn’t need constant monitoring and it’s easier to set up.

First we deal with the money. The suggested retail price is small compared to what you could pay for a quality water softener. In addition, the regenerating water does not become waste water as is the case with a salt water softener. The result of this is lower water bills and you don’t need to spend money on expensive softener salt. Therefore, in terms of money, it easily surpasses traditional water softeners.

Not using salt means you get to save money, but there is another reason why you want to use an unsalted alternative.

Salt is actually considered a pollutant when it is released into the environment, and chloride (Cl-) is dangerous to aquatic life and crops.

When water softeners dispose of salt water from the drain during the regeneration process, they increase the pressure on the local environment. So, to be more ecological use salt-free alternatives.

Eddy Electronic Water Descaler WORTH It?

Maybe. Mainly if you’re on a tight budget.

If you have medium to hard water then you need to get a water softener as the Eddy won’t make much difference. Or you can opt for a more POWERFUL sand EFFECTIVE salt free softener like Simplysoft Whole House From Aquasana.

The Eddy Electronic Water Descaler uses electromagnetism to reduce the negative effects of certain elements in hard water.

Electromagnetic waves are transmitted by water directed to the salts of calcium, magnesium and manganese.

These elements form what we know as “cal.” Electromagnetic waves change the shape of these magnesium and calcium crystals and make them more soluble.

This makes tubes, taps, boilers, and appliances in your home less likely to suffer from hard water.

Preventing these crystals from interacting with their environment reduces the risk of limescale.

Get a water softener if you have = hard water levels OVER 25 PPM

This water is very hard and you have a lot of problems with limescale in your kettle and hard white stains all over your pipes and plumbing.

You can consider getting a water descaler/conditioner = hard water levels UP to 25 PPM

This means your hard water is low to medium. You don’t have too many or aggressive limescale but simply want to protect your appliances, plumbing and pipes.
