YARNA Capacitive Electronic Water Descaler System - Alternative Water Softener Salt Free for Whole House, Reduces the effects of Limescale [CWD24, Max 1" Pipe]

We have had the Yarna CWD24 Water Descaler installed for about a few months now and have noticed a large decrease in the amount of sediment in our water kettle. It is a clear glass kettle and had deposits that had to be scraped off before. Now, there are still some noticeable white chalky sediments, but they wipe off with a paper towel. The longer the unit is installed, less sediment is showing. Also have noted the water in the shower feels softer. Spring especially gave us an odor with our well water and that has really gone away too. Very happy with these easy changes. Looks like it will keep improving our water as time goes on with the unit installed as we have an older home with older pipes. Installation was simple. Have tape handy to hold down the ends if you are installing alone! Very happy with this very affordable purchase and its effectiveness.

Fácil instalación. Si reduce significa mente el sarro

There are a TON of reviews on this and by and large here is mine: - Simple to install, in fact it seems almost to easy but it just is - Has reduced the hard water spotting we used to have on the chrome fixtures (not eliminate them) - Water is NOT softer, which is what they tell you. It will smooth out the structure of the mineral so it will reduce the buildup and that is the goal with this device - I didn't want a salt brine to have to deal with nor the big bags of salt and the added expense of installation - Other users, at least 94% + like the system and of course there are those who have tried it and for some reason didn't work, but the percentage is simply too high to not give it a try. - Our home is central Canada, very hard water (and added nasty chemicals), so this was installed to help add life to our hot water system and reduce the mineral deposits on the fixtures, mission accomplished there. Cons: - Power cord could be longer, perhaps a 10' cord as it's super light and takes up little space in the package

I was very skeptical this would work but thought I would give it a shot for the ease of installation and the cost. Prior to purchasing I read many reviews stating that these devices scientifically can't work and that they are just a scam. Well, I can confidently say that these nay-sayers were wrong even though they sounded very credible in their reviews. About 2 years ago my wife and I moved into a house on its own well, with all original plumbing since it was built in 1992. The water from the well was tested to be good when we bought the house and the previous owners raved about how good the water tasted, we agreed after drinking it. Although the water tasted great, it definitely had a lot of minerals in that caused a great amount of build up on all the faucets and also in the drains, causing flow issues. Even after we replaced the shower heads and remodeled the kitchen we had white mineral build-up within a month on the new shower heads and faucets, plugging the small spray holes and disrupting the flow. After installing this device I instantly noticed an improvement of the water feeling softer in when showering and washing dishes. It definitely lathers better and leaves your skin feeling less dried out. We have had salt water softeners in the past and it made the water feel very similar. After a few days it cleared out all the newer faucets/shower heads and started to break down the build up on the older original faucets. It even caused a leak in the the drain plumbing under one of the sinks because it broke down the mineral build up in the drain around one of the old seals (I was able to fix it by just taking out the sink drain and trap, cleaning it, and just reinstalling it). Additionally, the dishwasher is not leaving spots anymore and the stainless steel sinks have less spots. After a about week we've noticed all faucets are flowing better and and the old fixtures from 1992 are shedding lots of mineral build up. We can now delay replacing them until we do the bathroom remodels we have planned for the future. The kitchen faucets now spray as they are intended to without any plugged holes. We originally installed this device with the hope of cleaning out the mineral deposits in our plumbing that has built up over the years and hopefully restore some water pressure, and after the results I have already seen I am confident that this will accomplish that. Even though the device does not remove the minerals like a salt softener it definitely descales pipes and improves the quality of the water for our use. DON'T BELIEVE the people that say its a scam or the guys who says he's an electrical engineer and his wife has a few chemistry degrees and call it a pseudoscience scam. The proof is in the results! The only regret I have is not getting the next bigger model that is rated at pipe sizes larger than 1". I assumed my pipe feeding my pressure tank was only 1" but realized it was 1 1/4" when I went to install it. Instead of returning it for the larger one, I just installed it after the pressure tank where the pipe is smaller because I didn't want to spend any more money and I was very skeptical of it working anyway. Unfortunately I won't be able to descale the water going into the pressure tank unless I buy the CWD30, I may end up buying one later on since I am now a believer! Don't be afraid to buy this product this if your goal is to descale your pipes/fixtures, it will do that. Hopefully it will also improve your the quality of your water as it did mine. I typically don't leave reviews like this, but I would have appreciated a review like this when I was researching this product. I hope it can help someone else!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: At the end of 2019 I moved into my newly remodeled condo. I had heard about these electronic devices where you wrap wires around the incoming water pipe to make the water soft. At the time I thought this was a great idea to enjoy soft water without having to buy salt for a softener. Plus this option was less expensive than buying a complete soft water system. So I spent $350 and bought this unit. I installed it correctly. I used it for several years but hard water marks always built up on both my kitchen sink and bathroom sink. I was constantly having to clean it off. Then one day my shower head started making a singing noise. Then my toilet started doing the same thing. At this point I knew I was in trouble with my plumbing. Hard water buildup was causing this singing noise to come from both appliances. So the bottom line is - this device was doing absolutely nothing to soften my water! I ended up throwing this electronic de-scaler system in the garbage. Then I bought a real soft water system that uses softener salt and I have absolutely loved it! I no longer have hard water marks on both my kitchen sink and bathroom sink. So my advice is do not waste your money by buying this system but buy a real soft water system instead that works!
