Six or eight weeks ago, I received a phone call from a company on the East Coast who asked if I would be interested in distributing a device they sell that de-scales piping systems and hot water heaters and prevents future scaling from occurring.

I asked for details of how it works and was told the device in question is clamped around the cold water pipe entering the water heater, is then plugged in, and works by emiting a somewhat random electro-magnetic field thereby causing the minerals in your water (which are apparently magnetic) to constantly jerk around in your plumbing system, which in turn causes them not to adhere to the side of the pipes and water heater. The device will even de-scale the mineral deposits that have adhered to the sides of your pipes and water heater.

In short, limescale build up is both reversed and prevented from re-occuring.

I told him the claims he made seemed unrealistic but if he would send me a unit I would install it in my house. If after several weeks it worked, I would buy it, if not I would return it.

I'm buying it! It really works!

My wife has a very sensitive sense of small and is very bothered by spotted glasses coming out of the dishwasher. She now claims the glasses are never spotted, she no longer buys the anti-spot rinse agent, and the funny smell the dishwasher has given off for years is gone.

I am now interested in distributing this device, which is the Hydrocare HC-38.

It sells for $595, the manufacturer claims it will save you up to $1,200 per year, and you can buy it from us now that we're a distributor.

So you tried this for a month and you never see any white lime-scale spots on your dishes, sinks, stainless steel fixtures, etc.? Is your water from a well or city water? How hard is your source water? I have a well, which produces very hard water. One has to wash a car and dry it immediately or the remaining white spots almost take a buffing compound to remove later. I have a rubber-liner pond. After several years the calcium deposits are 1/16th inch thick. Can this really do as much as a water softener? Also, since it leaves the suspended particles 'suspended'... do they eventually lose that factor and over a distance or time, again begin to attach themselves to piping walls and other materials? In other words, if I were to use this device in a closed looped system like a recirculating pond pump/filter scenerio, would the lime-scale at some point lose the suspended aspect and attach to the sides of the system?
Thanks,
