Product review (5 stars): This Product is Great!
For the past 5 weeks, there have been contractors doing repairs to my home. We had a water heater rupture and a flood that put about 3 inches of water on the entire first floor of our home. I had a old salt-type water softener that had failed (Worn out) and a bad water pressure regulator that put excessive pressure on my water heater. We decided to upgrade to the new tankless water heater, and this Scale Sentry System. I am a Retired Naval Engineer, I used to work on reverse osmosis, and distilling plants onboard Navy Ships, so I understand the process of refining water. I was quite skeptical that this system would do as claimed, but have a very bad back, and can no longer lift those bags of salt, so I had to do something. We went without any type of water treatment system in our home for about 3 weeks, and found out how bad the city water really is. It tasted bad, so we started drinking bottled water. Also, we were getting that sticky, film feeling when we took a shower.
After the Scale Sentry System was installed, that all went away. Our Water tastes very good, has no chemical smell to it, and when we shower, we feel clean. Even our laundry comes out cleaner.
This is a Great Product, and does exactly as it claims to do. I would recommend it to anyone, and have to some of our neighbors. It takes up very little space, and the only maintenance that is needed is to change the Pre-Filters every six months. You don't get the slippery-slimy feeling in the shower that you get with a Salt Type water softener, but you do feel clean. I think it is far better health wise for us as well, because the old system removed some of the beneficial minerals from the water. I should have converted to this system long ago, but sometimes it takes a disaster like the one that happened to us, to open your eyes to something new, and better.
