Does this really work?!?! Yes It Does!
UPDATE - 1 1/2 years later; So the magnets have maintained their performance to date. To keep improving things I have added one more to the cold line water pipe going into the hotter water tank. Then I added one to each of the two cold water lines which break off into opposite directions of the house. This is a ranch home so the water lines are quite long, about 35ft in each direction. We have not had any lime or mineral build up on any faucets or appliances. The water still feels soft, skin feel soft, the clothes wash nicely, and the planters and lawn has been outstanding as well! If I ever move these are coming with me. Please take note we have city/small town water but the hardness would require a water softener for sure. Try these magnets if you don't want to hassle with a water softener, which are being banned in many states anyway. Good luck! I was highly skeptical! We moved from an area with 3-5 grains water hardness to an area with 9-12+ grain water hardness, both areas are city water. I was not expecting much, period. After week one, started to notice porcelain sinks and toilet bowls stayed cleaner longer and the gloss came back after being dull. Week two soap and shampoo lathered easier, hard water and soap scum at bottom of shower has hardly been a problem now. Week three, shower heads and faucet strainers show no hard water build up, shower runs stronger. Hard water feel more pronounced on occasion but I assume that is the mineral scale coming free from pipes and hotter tank, this should be done in a couple more months. Week four water tastes better filtered or unfiltered, and everything keeps improving. Someone wrote in that there are still spots on their shower doors. Of course! This would happen with softners, conditioners, or filters. Shower doors need to be dried off always to prevent spots, unless you apply Rain-X. My wife hates soft water so in this new house which is 2 years old there were three options I was going to pursue. I started with the cheapest (mineral magnets) one at the water line coming into the house, one at the hot water tank where the water exits to the faucets. If no other improvements occur, we will be fine with that. As it stands now, we are satisfied with the results currently. I've read much information on mineral magnets, expected nothing but it would be worth a try. Not disappointed in the least! I felt for the $70, if it didn't work, nothing lost really. The next options would just get more expensive. Worth the try for sure!

Amazing product
We purchased this about a month ago as a more affordable means of reducing hard water scale in our home. Admittedly we were quite apprehensive, but a much cheaper alternative to try. Item delivered quickly, right on time. Installed on our water pipes the next day and we decided it would take a bit to notice a change. Wrong! The water in the shower that evening was soft to touch, felt amazing! Skin and hair were definitely more soft and not dry feeling. Didn’t mention to my husband as he is much harder to Impress. However he mentioned how different the water felt and how it rolled off the shower walls and doors so quickly and easily. He was not yet totally on board but through the days he has seen a difference . Cleaning that shower area has become quick and easy. No scrubbing scale, not even water spots. I even noticed our stainless areas of our cat fountain which always require scrubbing and seldom removing all the residue was nice and smooth and shiny with just a washing. This has never happened in all the years of cleaning that fountain. Somewhere I read, and we did a lot of research on this magnet, that after time places that already held residue could clear up. My husband complained one day that the soap was not lathering as before. I explained softer more conditioned water tends to create less lather. All in all, we are believers. Water feels softer, skin and hair soft and far less dry and cleaning showers and areas are much faster and easier. Will update in a few more months to see how this sustains. Easily installed ( very few minutes), no maintenance, much cheaper than any other method, and amazing results from a couple of reluctant believers.

Success on White Scale when used on One Fixture
I’m a believer in science but I’m not an expert in chemistry. I was very skeptical of the claims for this product. I did notice that many previous reviews said it was successful with white deposits. Other reviews were mixed. (Admittedly not very scientific.) I decided to give it a shot. All I wanted was for it to prevent white scale buildup on fixtures. Several reviews said it could remove existing deposits but I considered that highly unlikely. I installed it on the inlet line for a single toilet as a test, assuming that this should be a fairly easy test, unless it was completely bogus. The toilet had recently been replaced (due to scale buildup over 20 years). The new toilet already had a slight deposit at the waterline and had visible deposits in the trap area - perfect conditions for a test. I installed the device and waited. Six months later the toilet still has a slight deposit of scale at the water line - but it’s no worse than before. That’s enough for me to consider the test a success, IMHO. The amazing part, to me, is that the deposit at the bottom (trap area) is noticeably reduced! That’s more than enough. One complaint (not a dealbreaker): Some intended uses might not have enough space. You need space for the device, but you also need to have enough space to get both hands on the device at the same time. Keep in mind that you’ll be working against the magnets. Next test: I plan to move it to the water inlet for the whole house. Can one device treat all the water, or will I need one for each fixture? Come back in six more months to find out.

Works great in my shower
I have super hard water. I was constantly cleaning our shower glass doors and walls with copious amounts of vinegar, barkeepers friend, and elbow grease. After a week, they would have so much hard water deposits built up on them, it was as if I had never cleaned them at all. I live in an apartment and have zero access to the water lines that enter the building or the water heater. So, I bought several of these magnets and I placed them on different sinks and shower hoses in my apartment. The difference is night and day! In the shower, the doors stay nice and clear. After a week, there are some water spots, but I just get a simple scrub and just wipe it real quick while I'm in the shower and they are all gone! No more gallons and bottles of vinegar and barkeepers friend needed. No more spending 30-45 minutes and my power drill with a brush attachment on the end to clean off the glass and walls. I like this particular one since it has a plastic waterproof case an fasteners over the magnets, so I'm able to put it right on my shower head hose and not have to worry about it corroding. I also used one on the line to my dishwasher. Now, my dishes no longer feel like it has a rough powdery or gunk stuck to them after being washed in the dishwasher. I bought some different magnets that I attached to the lines under my sinks that didn't need to be water proof as well. And some magnets you can put in the toilet reservoir to help prevent buildup in the toilet bowls. All of these have worked amazingly well. I don't have to spend hours every week trying to clean up all the hard water buildup everywhere anymore. These and the other magnets have been a godsend. If you have a problem with really hard water, they will work great for you. If you don't have hard water, you probably won't notice a change in anything.

It's OK, not great
Immediately after getting rid of my salt water softener, there were significant amounts of scale buildup in the kitchen, baths, and a noticeable harshness effect on my skin as I shower or wash dishes. I bought two of these magnet sets, installed one on the main incoming pipe and the other on the outgoing pipe from the water heater according to the included instructions. It has been about 3 weeks now and I notice the following results: 1- The scale build up is still present but I estimate that it's 50% less than before...I'm ok with that. 2- The harshness feel on my skill is 70% less than before. It no longer dries and itches. I would recommend this product for those who don't have high expectation of it...especially if you've used a salt water softener in the past. The magnets are good for its intended purpose, but not a replacement for a softener.

It simply doesn’t work…
I installed two on my main pipe (approximately 20 meters apart)… it simply doesn’t work. No change whatsoever :-(

It has been about a month since I installed, and I notice an improvement
I seriously considered buying a water softener and filter for my whole house because my toilets have like a mm thick of mineral buildup that makes it hard to flush. This problem was getting bad enough that I was thinking about replacing two toilets because they were getting hard to flush without clogging. Starting one day after I installed this magnet, I have not had one clogged toilet on any toilet in the house, when before it was about every other day. This thing works. It has also improve the spotting on my clean wine glasses. Bang for the buck this is impossible to beat. I actually think every home in America should come with one. It appears to smooth the rough edges of mineral buildup in pipes, toilets, and appliances just enough to get the job done. In one month I am already very satisfied. I took a picture of the mineral buildup on my toilet and will take another picture at the three month mark and try to load the pictures here. My estimate is this cheap magnet is about 20% as good as a water softener for 1/100 the cost, and 1/10,000 the maintenance. I'd actually bet that the average home experiencing mild issues doesn't need more than this one product to be satisfied. I just a shower filter and a britta for my drinking water instead of a whole house filter.

Knowledge is Power
I rated this product as 5 stars for now due to the design and ease of installation . I strongly encourage to read the instructions attached to this review to properly identify the location for your installation, to make sure there is sufficient space to install and secure the product. Please read the instructions in order to learn what and when to expect any results from the product. I will update my review after 15-90 days of use to report any changes. Knowledge is power! Update as of June 20, 2025 I added another set to the house water supply line, not because I was not happy with the first set. I just wanted to continue my experiment 😀 I also added a set to our swimming pool pump water inlet. That made a huuuge difference to the pool water quality and a SIGNIFICANT reduction in our use of chemicals. I ONLY use these magnets, Pool RX (blue), Pool RX booster along with chlorine tabs, and liquid chlorine to shock our pool water once in a while. That’s it! These magnets will do the magic!!!

Sirve poco, Pero sirve
Facil de colocar. Si se ha logrado la reducción un poco del sarro. Sin embargo hay que colocarlo junto con varios. Yo coloqué uno a la entrada del agua general, la que viene de la calle. Otra en la entrada del tinaco y otra después del boiler. De un 100% de sarro puedo decir que se redujo a más o menos un 60%. Lo veo porque ya no tengo que limpiar tan seguido la regadera

Excellent alternative to salt water softeners.
I purchased this in conjunction with an electric one and between the two we've noticed a big difference in how the water feels. No need for a salt water softener! Remember that the minerals are still present but they just not 'sticky'. If water is left to dry mineral deposits will be present but water acts as soft water.
