Yes, and this same question is perennial. To my knowledge there is no way a closed system that does not process water, can ever soften it. All these devices seem to be able to do is make some of the calcium clump together and maybe or maybe not stick to the sides of pipes. Brian

What may work at an industrial scale as stated in the linked article is hardly likely to work with the snake oil domestic products sold to the gullible public.

Which appears to have the manufacturer's logo, and so is presumably approved by them. Shudder. But at least it's only a 120v supply.
