If you want to soften your water without using any chemicals or salt, this may be the right water softener for you. Not only will it remove any scale deposits from the pipes, but it will also prevent any new ones from forming. In addition to this, your water won’t be deprived of its beneficial minerals. On top of that, this descaler will help you reduce energy consumption and thus save money.
Main Properties
The first thing that impresses about this item is that it comes at a fairly reasonable price compared to other products of the same class. Unlike other softeners that use chemicals or salt to soften water, this one doesn’t. So how does it work then? Interestingly enough, it is equipped with a computer chip responsible for sending electromagnetic waves through the pipes. These waves prevent limestone from building up in the pipes.
As this device doesn’t use any chemicals, then it doesn’t change the water chemically. In other words, it doesn’t ‘soften’ the water the way other products do. However, this is a good thing as it doesn’t remove useful minerals such as magnesium and calcium. Most of the other softening products do this and thus make water less healthy. Since this descaler doesn’t use salt, it is a good option to consider for people on salt-restricted diets.
What it removes
As we have already mentioned, this softener doesn’t change the chemistry of the water. It removes existing scale deposits from the water pipes and prevents new ones from building up. At the same time, it doesn’t remove useful minerals such as magnesium and calcium.

What to expect
In terms of installation, this device can be easily mounted on the main water line in the house before it splits to the water heater or other plumbing fixtures. The good news is that you can attach it to all kinds of pipes such as copper, PEX, or CPVC ones. Yet another benefit is that you can install the unit both horizontally and vertically, and there won’t be any need to modify your current plumbing system. Once you mount the descaler, you won’t have to worry about maintenance as this unit doesn’t require any.
Reportedly, this product will provide you with years of continuous protection against hard water problems. Moreover, it will also help you reduce the energy that you consume and thus save money. It has been estimated that for about a year, the descaler will payback for the money that you have spent on its purchase. Another advantage of this product is that since it doesn’t use chemicals to work, it extends the life span of your appliances such as your water heater.
Keep in mind that if you live in a large house where water has to travel more than 50ft, you will most probably need to get two iSpring ED2000 devices. The second descaler is necessary as the treatment effect of this unit is only temporary. When water travels for more than 50 ft, its molecules will bind together again, reforming in larger clusters. This means that scale deposits will begin to form again if you don’t have two devices in a large house.
Since this descaler doesn’t ‘soften’ the water, you cannot expect it to have the same effect on your laundry as a real water softener will have. One thing is sure, the hair and skin of the whole family are going to look better.
Another point you may be interested in is the warranty of the descaler. This product comes with one-year money-back insurance. Moreover, you can rely on the lifetime tech support of iSpring.
