'AO Smith Whole House Salt-Free Descaler System for City and Well Water'

The A.O. Smith Descaler is a salt-free and chemical-free system that effectively prevents scale buildup in pipes and plumbing without softening water or removing minerals. This engineered technology naturally transforms dissolved hard minerals into inactive microscopic crystal particles that are harmlessly passed through the water and down the drain.

Not only will the descaler protect and extend the life of your appliances, but it will also safeguard your home's internal plumbing from the harmful effects of scale buildup. If you experience a leak from the descaler tank, turn off the water supply immediately and ensure a tight connection throughout the installed system using a wrench. Avoid over-tightening, as that could cause cracks and further leaking.

For installation, you will need a drill, wrench, channel locks, crimping tool, plumber's tape, PVC pipe cutter, and PVC primer and glue. We recommend using a professional if pipe cutting is required, and basic plumbing knowledge is recommended.

The A.O. Smith Descaler is designed for use with both well and city water systems, making it a versatile solution for all your water needs, including drinking, cooking, showering, and bathing. It is ideal for households of 4 or more people and is effective for moderately hard water with a hardness under 15 grains per gallon, alkalinity under 250 mg/L, pH under 8.3, and less than 0.3 ppm of iron.

The system is cost-efficient, reducing scale buildup for up to 6 years or 600,000 gallons, and includes a 6-year warranty. It does not reduce total dissolved solids (TDS), sulfur, or iron, but it provides a reliable and effective solution for preventing scale buildup without the need for cleaning, backwashing, salt-bags, or electricity.
