EDDY ED6002P-US Water Descaller

Only installed for a few weeks so still evaluating: But I think water "feels" better (more similar to soft water) and individual sprays in shower head are more uniform.We have an on-demand water heater so we had immediate results on hot water. Also the effects of the unit won't "time out" from sitting in a 50 gallon water heater.

Good product works as soon as I plugged in I seen a difference

I bought this in 2014 and have yet had to clean out my water heater that before required cleaning every 6 months due to calcium buildup. 9 years later it worked so well that it is now trying to clean my water pipes and is leaving a rust in my filter. I highly recommend this product, but at some point you do need to turn it off for awhile.

OK, As an engineer I am skeptical about this hocos pocus like device but I am willing to give it a try because of all the positive "anecdotal" info here. Why skeptical? Because this is not changing the chemical natural of the water. It maybe is manipulating ions but the calcium is still there. (that is what makes hard water hard)The reason why I am testing this is I don't want that big water softener in my garage. I have lived in 6 homes in 6 states and had everything from perfect town water to deep well water that was loaded with all kinds of stuff and everything in between. I have had the big water softeners and whole house filters, pumps and uv systems. It is a nightmare. My current situation is a I just bought a brand new home and it has city water. It has a water-softener loop in the garage for a hook up but none is there yet. I don't want one unless I really need it so I will try this first and return it if it does not fix the problem.Now the water is hard here. My wife and I noticed it on our first shower. She reported to me " something is wrong, the soap is broken and my hair feels like straw". Yep I said we have hard water. I tested it with a strip test from Home Depot and it reads about 450 . That is HARD WATER. All the other tests were pretty normal but I could smell a very slight little chlorine. but it tested within normal range.After two days of eddy install : It may be my mind but we both noticed our hair is feeling a little better. (not normal yet but a little better) I still think the soap should lather more but we think there is a slight improvement. Now the water heater holds 50 gals so there has to be a lot of the "pre eddy" water in there. so lets give it a full couple weeks and I will start retesting the water. For now I give it 3 stars but I want to see the actual measured hardness come down. I don't see how it can but I am trying to keep an open mind. If the effects of hard water disappear but the measurement still is high I will keep the eddy. If I see no real improvement in hardness or hair/soap/skin/clothes/scale etc... I will return it and buy a water softener and filter system.(ugh)So I will report back in a week or so... until then.It has been several weeks or so since I put this in and I wanted to update.I moved my rating to 4 stars. This definitely has some desired effects. The water still tests as hard but my hair feels much more normal now. Not so dry and stiff.Current hardness is about 250 or so but that is based on reading a color chart that is hard to distinguish between the colors with any degree of accuracy.That said my wife has told me I fixed the problem. I don’t see much scale buildup either.I will continue to monitor. For now though I think I will hold off on getting a big water softener system as this appears to have some merit.

We have had it installed now for 3 weeks and in the last week I have finally noticed my hair does not feel like hay after taking a shower and I won't have to worry about hard water stains in our new shower head and coffee pot!
