Anyone have any real world experience of these? Considering buying a cheap one from ScrewFix, but wanted to hear some 3rd party results first.
Cheers.

I have an Aqu-Dial electronic and it keeps away about 80% of scale.

Thanks. I have read the google archives, and am more confused than I was before, some people saying they do work, others saying theu don't etc etc.
I was hoping for a couple of poeple that say it worked for them, and I will buy one and give it a go (it's only £40).
IMM: One question I need to know. Do you have any of those things dangling from your rear car bumper to stop car sickness?? :-)

They dont soften the water but they reduce the scale.

They *may* reduce the scale....... the process being physical and not chemical.....

They are made for gullible people. You won't find any evidence of testing of them. You may find customer testimonials. (i.e. "I fitted the ScaleBlaster2000 last year and it made me win the lottery and improve my sex life"). The odd thing is that the more expensive they make these ridiculous contraptions, the more convinced the purchasers are that they must have made the right decision.
If you really are looking for a relatively cheap method of scale control, fit a phosphate dosing canister. Otherwise, fit the real thing, an ion exchange water softener. This actually softens the water so you need less soap.

You'd be putting your money to better use if you bought beer.
They're a load of b****cks.

If you decide to buy one, look for a model with two or three lights, preferably with a couple of them that flash intermittently, and a couple of buttons to push periodically. At least you'll *think* something's happening.......

Mine works and I am far from gullible. If it does not work the get your money back. Simple!

Don't waste your money. I tried one over a period of 6 months. It did absolutely nothing. I took it back and got a refund (manufacturer's offer).

Good move. Doesn't work so take it back. I bought one and it does work, so I kept it.

IMM, you've been selected for a golden opportunity to make money. Just send this letter off to as many people as you can find and send £10 to the five names on the list. After 2 hours, you could be a millionaire!

Would it work better if it made a swish sound, like the star trek doors?
