In reply to Luke George (Mr Water Geek). Fair enough. I will add on the negative side that Sprite filters do not last as long for us as mfg. says they will. I don't know our calcium level or what they're testing. Our replacement filter is labeled Model SLC.

Hi William

Thanks for the comment. I cut out the unnecessary snarky parts as this site has a clear affiliate disclosure on every single page of this site.

As someone who has personally tested many shower filters, my original statement still stands: most are ineffective.

However, I will check out Sprite showerhead filter and consider writing a review about it if it’s up to scratch.

Stay hydrated,
Luke

In reply to Tricia Zocco. I don't know about Aquabliss showerhead filters, but we have had great results with Sprite showerhead filters. We had basic calcium buildup problems, nothing strange like sticky skin, so you may have something else going on. The calcium buildup in our shower has almost stopped, and there is no buildup on the glass after 4 or 5 years of use.

Magnets work for us. Our glassware is clear and we don’t have to descale the faucet and showerhead every few months. It may be because we have a shell well but we did get our water softener removed after years of success with magnets. This kind of presentation saying it’s science and that it doesn’t work and all this testimony say it does is the worst thing to happen to science and consumer information. It foment distrust in allthings.com.

In reply to Steve. Hi Steve Maybe you could consider a smaller low volume portable water softener? Stay hydrated, Luke

We have had in the past, several salt water softeners, and work period! I had a magnet on a past home and sadly had to go back to the salt softener! That being said, at our current location is well water, that we do NOT have the VOLUME of water to regenerate hey salt water system!
What are my options now?
Is there a NEW low volume salt water softener on the market ?

Large COMBO water softener works, you just need to understand what you are buying and have a realistic expectation. This does not remove the minerals, this changes them into a small particle that does not stick and build, that simple. I challenge you to get one of those local magnetic companies to come out and give you an estimate for their system, I did, and the cost was over $1500.00. They could not provide the answers I wanted either, how do I know it will work? All I got was; you will feel it. Well for $1500.00 that was not good enough. What I did get from them was the understanding that you need several magnets, depending on the size of your home(information I did not see posted anywhere about this product) When I saw the reviews on this product, I thought, there is nothing to lose.

Hi Samantha

That’s great to hear, which brand/model are you using?
I’d like to do some follow up research on a magnetic conditioner that actually works 🙂

Stay hydrated,

Our water is very hard and before installing a magnetic water conditioner we had to clean lime build up out of an electric hot water heater roughly every eight months, with the magnetic conditioner the period between cleanouts jumped to well over 5 years.

Hi Nathan

That’s right, at the time of testing the magnetic descalers I didn’t have a softener and I thought magnetic descalers would be the fast and easy solution to solve my hard water problems.

Sadly, they were not. Sigh.

Stay hydrated,
Luke
