AquaPure AQUA-PURE-AP430SS Cuno Hot Water Heater Scale Inhibitor System

Este producto de 3M, en un par de semanas, me libro de las escamas de carbonato de calcio que se forma, al calentar en agua en el boiler. Una maravilla. Ahora aver cuanto me dura, porque dice que solo dura por un año... Espero que sea mas!

I hardly ever post reviews, but I must review this item. I purchased this in lieu of a water softener. I have very hard water and really didn't want to deal with salt delivery, so I gave this a shot out of desperation...with low expectations. Over the years, I've tried gimmicks on the market with 0.00% results (electrical coil thing comes to mind). After two months of use, I can say that this in fact does seem to prevent about 75% of hard scale build-up. Instead of hard to remove scale and large sediment chunks in my faucet aerators, I'm seeing more of a white dust. In removal of all my aerators for inspection, I'm seeing about 75% less hard clogging scale. My dish-washer also appears to have a white dust coating inside as opposed to hard scale all over the place. My wife says that the glassware is coming out of the washer much cleaner also. So far, so good. Not sure how long this "filter" will last, but I'm fine with the cost of replacement every couple of months if that's what it takes. Might last longer, not sure yet. Btw...I installed this filter right before water enters my tank-less water heater. Installation is simple...use Sharkbite PTC fittings, tubing and make sure to add a SharkBite ball valve before and after the filter. Pretty simple installation.

Perfect quick delivery and does its job so far no issues with the manufacturer or quality

It really works. Effective to the extent of 75% in removing calcification.

***EDIT*** July 25 Been using this on my swamp cooler now for 7 years. My cooler still has the original pads, (10 years old). I’ve replaced the cartridge every other year. I recently learned about water treatment with Citric acid. I'm not sure if this cartridge has Citric acid in it but I wanted to try it on my Swamp Cooler. I rigged up the fittings to supply water to my cooler. I ran it this year from May to the end of October. My cooler is 3 years old. We have extremely hard water here in the Mojave. I cleaned the pads and wet side of my cooler the best I could this spring. I still had scale buildup left over from the previous two years of use. When I started using my cooler this year I considered my pads to be 30% plugged up with hard water deposits. I just winterized my cooler yesterday, (Halloween) and now my pads are 95% clean. Also the wet side of my cooler is 100% clean. My cooler does have a purge pump that dumps all the water out of my cooler once a day. All that did for me before this year was water my lawn in one spot. This year with this setup and the purge pump, it helped keep my cooler clean. I've already recommended this setup to all my friends for next year.
