What it does for your water
The Magnetic Water Technology D-10888 Electronic Water Descaler is an electronic descaler that works on the pipe from the outside.
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 no salt-no electricity-no plumbing modifications; mounting self; power Nature Powered; model D-10888; material Alloy Steel.
The listing gives a shipping weight of 12 ounces and user manual in the box.
