Both water softeners and Home Descaler System are designed to solve the problem of hard water and dangerous limescale deposits in your home. However, they use different techniques and lead to different results. Today, we'll discuss their features and capabilities so you can make an informed choice.
Different working principles, different uses and different post-maintenance
Water softeners are mainly two softening technologies, ion resin exchange technology and nanocrystalline technology. The principle of ion resin exchange refers to the removal of calcium and magnesium ions in water through ion exchange resin, reducing water hardness and realizing the effect of converting hard water into soft water.
Home Water Descaler System is the physical-galvanic water treatment
A new revolutionary system for preventing limescale and removing existing from water heaters, pipes,mixers, showers and all equipment through which water flows with certified efficiency up to 86%. IPS use energy of spinning water and electrodes creating a galvanic potential 0.8-1.0 V.
IPSE effectively prevents the formation of solid sediments and corrosion in cold and hot water appliances.
IPSE is a flow-through body with inside placed turbine-shaped electrodes of two different electrically conductive materials, generates a swirling water flow, causing a change in the structure of the minerals.
Now that we saw how these two different devices work, Both types of devices address the issue of hard water and limescale, but each has its strengths and weaknesses.
The water softener mainly removes calcium and magnesium ions in tap water, reduces the hardness of water, and converts hard water into soft water. Soft water does not contain or contains less calcium and magnesium ions, and they are not easy to combine with soap base to form soap scum residue.
Water descalers do not strip your water of essential and healthy minerals for your diet;
They remove the already existing scale on the inside of your pipes and appliances;
Descalers need little to no maintenance over time since you do not have to replace or add elements/consumables to them;
They work with almost all types of pipes, including PVC ones;
They do not add salt to your water, eliminating any excess salt-based risk for people and animals.
They are small and versatile when it comes to placement (on the wall, under the sink, etc.);
If you want to spend less money with the purchase, installation, and maintenance of your water treatment system;You are environmentally aware and wish to conserve water in your home. If you want to live a more sustainable lifestyle, then the water descaler is the better option as it does not flush away water or minerals.
