how does it work. I know it is not removing the calcium like a salt softener

OK, I'm not a scientist, but I believe it is some type of 'ion exchange' in the water molecules. I bought & used a similar item about 35 years ago. It worked and this one seems to work also. I got the average $30 one and then bought the larger $75 one (price varies) and use them both. It takes 30 to 60 days to see results. With the money back guarantee, give it a try. WARNING!! These magnets are very "STRONG" and clamp together in a heartbeat, as my bandaged finger will attest to.

They work well, had a salt softener, but was not happy with how soap seemed hard to rinse off. Even with salt softener my toilets would still get a ring from the hard water. I put two on my water lines and have not seen rings, or any hard water build up in the toilet since.

So far, cleaning was a breeze. The inside surface is polished, as to prevent the calcium to stick to it. Had it for about 7 months now, and running a sponge across the surface was enough.

Doesn't work don't order one with calcium as it inhibits the uptake of the HCA, Do more research

I have quit testing the water. The water stays clean - no odor -no calcium build up. I just replace the canisters once every few months. The company from whom I first bought these told me that this is all I needed to do and I have no reason to doubt it.

Actually I don't have it anymore (I gave it away). Doesn't it say on the post? I know I bought it for the magnesium, but I found it to be very salty and I am a salt lover. Personally, I'd rather add baking soda and/or pink himalayan sea salt to my filtered water. Sorry I can't help you more.

I did not use on calcium deposits. Just on stains. Pumice stone may be better.

I did some research that indicated that calcium actually prevents the absorption. It didn't matter. This product did absolutely nothing for me...a total waste of money.

The general water softner works in the same principle, includning this model. It removes some radium in the ion exhange per this article http://www.idph.state.il.us/envhealth/factsheets/radium.htmI am no pro. You should verify this with a professional.

We have only used the coarse softener salt in ours and it's been working great. Our campground has extremely hard water and it's been 2 summers now using this and we love it. Hope this helps!

It is for hard water areas. It stops calcium build up inside the kettle on the element.

It did for me, I didn't lose any weight because the calcium did in fact negate the effectiveness. I switched to the Garcenia Cambodia without the calcium, so we will see how this pans out.

Hi Ronnie. I am really not sure why that would have changed. The bottle I have does not show calcium. I know that I have never experienced anything like that and after several reviews with the same problem and reading other articles regarding the Garcinia Cambogia many people had kidney related issues. It's not worth it to all and I wish I would not have even tried it. Good luck I hope that helps and I am sorry I was not familiar with the Calcium removal.

We just use tap water. There is a filter that the water is drawn through that filters out calcium and other impurities. You can scrub that filter with a small brush and hot water to clean off the build up that gets on it.

It's pretty amazing, but it won't remove salt. Here's a link to a more in-depth review: http://www.portablewaterfilters.org/whats-new/lifestraw-family-1-0-review/

sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride; it works for me

I'm going to borrow the answer for someone else as it does work. It's a calcium build up. It'll disable your humidifier altogether if not it's not regularly cleaned. When I first bought the humidifier, I also bought a solution that was supposed to help keep calcium buildup at bay.It didn't.So now I clean the humidifier once a month by letting the heating mechanism soak overnight (or while I'm at work) in vinegar.
