What it does for your water
The Magnetic Water Technology S-10200 Electronic Water Descaler is an electronic descaler that works on the pipe from the outside.
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: features listed Easy to Install; mounting Countertop; power Nature Powered; model S-10200; material Ceramic, neodymium.
The listing gives dimensions of 3 in (L) x 3 in (W) x 3 in (H), a shipping weight of 6 ounces and instruction manual, screws, teflon tape, drain saddle in the box.
