What it does for your water
The iSpring WGB22B-DS Electronic Water Descaler is an electronic descaler that works on the pipe from the outside. Its listing gives a flow rating of 15 GPM. Media: coconut shell carbon.
Like every salt-free option, it leaves the hardness minerals in the water: a test strip reads the same afterwards, and the maker's claim is about scale, not softness.
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.
The listing also gives features listed Scale Reduction; mounting DIY; connections 1-inch NPT; media coconut shell carbon; power Manual (Water Pressure); capacity stated as 250000 gallons.
The listing gives dimensions of 16 in (L) x 8 in (W) x 28 in (H), a shipping weight of 45.8 lb and filter cartridge in the box.
