Hard water scale

[Col996s]

Living in a very hard water area I have been wondering if those "electronic" water scalers are any good. These are the ones where you wrap a few turns of wire around the incoming cold water main.
They make such fantastic claims. Anybody any experience on them before I waste my money?

We got one and it seems to make no difference at all! Water still tastes gross and is still full of chalk!

Hope that helps!

We plumbed in a filter jobby - 50 quid odd from Homebase. It does actually work although the cartridge needs changing every year or so.

We got one of those Britta water filter jug things, works well is quite cheap to no scale in the kettle now:o
