What it does for your water
The H&G lifestyles IWF022 Electronic Water Descaler is an electronic descaler that works on the pipe from the outside. Its listing gives a flow rating of 7 GPM. Media: kdf 58.
Salt-free systems don't remove calcium or magnesium, so the water won't feel softer and a hardness test will read the same. Makers describe them as reducing scale.
Electronic units need a power outlet near the pipe and work only on the pipe they are wrapped around; the maker lists which pipe materials and diameters suit them.
From the listing: mounting Whole House Water Filter System; media kdf 58; power Manual; capacity stated as 70000 gallons; model IWF022; material Brass, Rubber, Plastic, Carbon.
The listing gives dimensions of 14.5 in (L) x 7.5 in (W) x 15.5 in (H).
