The Different Types of Water Conditioners

A water softener uses resin and it's the same kind of thing you might have in a jug in your kitchen or like plumbed into your house. If you take the calcium away, which is what the ion exchange resin in those filters does, and replace it with sodium, you end up with something that doesn't then form limescale. And if we may add to that this question of magazines that strap around your water main that say they'll cut down how fast the pipes fur up. Is there anything in that apart from snake oil?
