YARNA Capacitive Electronic Water Descaler Whole House Solution - No-Salt Softener System, Reduces Limescale Effects and Mineral Buildup, Compatible with Pipes Up to 1 Inch, Model CWD24

I’ve only had it installed for 1 week, but I can see it is working. My major issue was mineral buildup in the toilet under the waterline. I was scrubbing it away every 2-3 days. Since installing exactly one week ago, there is still no buildup. This is exactly what I needed. I never noticed any hard water feel or other indications, just the toilet every few days. Installation was relatively straightforward and all parts, including ties were included. I installed directly onto the main pipe right after the meter with an outlet within reach of the 5 ft. Power cord.

I was very skeptical this would work but thought I would give it a shot for the ease of installation and the cost. Prior to purchasing I read many reviews stating that these devices scientifically can't work and that they are just a scam. Well, I can confidently say that these nay-sayers were wrong even though they sounded very credible in their reviews. About 2 years ago my wife and I moved into a house on its own well, with all original plumbing since it was built in 1992. The water from the well was tested to be good when we bought the house and the previous owners raved about how good the water tasted, we agreed after drinking it. Although the water tasted great, it definitely had a lot of minerals in that caused a great amount of build up on all the faucets and also in the drains, causing flow issues. Even after we replaced the shower heads and remodeled the kitchen we had white mineral build-up within a month on the new shower heads and faucets, plugging the small spray holes and disrupting the flow. After installing this device I instantly noticed an improvement of the water feeling softer in when showering and washing dishes. It definitely lathers better and leaves your skin feeling less dried out. We have had salt water softeners in the past and it made the water feel very similar. After a few days it cleared out all the newer faucets/shower heads and started to break down the build up on the older original faucets. It even caused a leak in the the drain plumbing under one of the sinks because it broke down the mineral build up in the drain around one of the old seals (I was able to fix it by just taking out the sink drain and trap, cleaning it, and just reinstalling it). Additionally, the dishwasher is not leaving spots anymore and the stainless steel sinks have less spots. After a about week we've noticed all faucets are flowing better and and the old fixtures from 1992 are shedding lots of mineral build up. We can now delay replacing them until we do the bathroom remodels we have planned for the future. The kitchen faucets now spray as they are intended to without any plugged holes. We originally installed this device with the hope of cleaning out the mineral deposits in our plumbing that has built up over the years and hopefully restore some water pressure, and after the results I have already seen I am confident that this will accomplish that. Even though the device does not remove the minerals like a salt softener it definitely descales pipes and improves the quality of the water for our use. DON'T BELIEVE the people that say its a scam or the guys who says he's an electrical engineer and his wife has a few chemistry degrees and call it a pseudoscience scam. The proof is in the results! The only regret I have is not getting the next bigger model that is rated at pipe sizes larger than 1". I assumed my pipe feeding my pressure tank was only 1" but realized it was 1 1/4" when I went to install it. Instead of returning it for the larger one, I just installed it after the pressure tank where the pipe is smaller because I didn't want to spend any more money and I was very skeptical of it working anyway. Unfortunately I won't be able to descale the water going into the pressure tank unless I buy the CWD30, I may end up buying one later on since I am now a believer! Don't be afraid to buy this product this if your goal is to descale your pipes/fixtures, it will do that. Hopefully it will also improve your the quality of your water as it did mine. I typically don't leave reviews like this, but I would have appreciated a review like this when I was researching this product. I hope it can help someone else!

I was looking for a way for me to limit the scale in my hot water heater because it was full of scale and I had to change the elements. There is a large amount of calcium in the water here that causes water spots and calcium deposits around the faucets. The fact that I can hook this up by just winding wires around a pipe makes this the perfect solution to my issues. This will be valuable to anyone who has hard water and no way to install a water softener. I paid $80 for this. This came in an attractive box with a link to an educational video on how to install. Everything was included for installation. Delivery time was 4 days with prime membership. Installation was tricky for my set up here. My pipes are tight against the wall and that made it difficult to wrap around. Several times I lost my hold on the wire and it unraveled so I needed to start over. Then when it was wound all the way, I didn’t have the tie in reach, so I had to start over again. So, installation for me was not an easy process, but not impossible. I finally got it all wrapped with ties in place and it hasn’t moved since. I don’t notice much of a change in the “feel” of the water. I do notice that I don’t have as many spots to clean or as much of a build up around the sinks, so I do believe it is helping. The real test will be next year when I do my maintenance on my hot water heater. I will be interested to see how much sediment is in the bottom of my water heater and if when I drain it chunks of calcium deposits are flushed out. I will say I can tell it is doing something because the spots are fewer than I used to have. I am hopeful that it will be useful in the long run. If it cuts down on the sediment, it will be worth everything I paid and more.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: At the end of 2019 I moved into my newly remodeled condo. I had heard about these electronic devices where you wrap wires around the incoming water pipe to make the water soft. At the time I thought this was a great idea to enjoy soft water without having to buy salt for a softener. Plus this option was less expensive than buying a complete soft water system. So I spent $350 and bought this unit. I installed it correctly. I used it for several years but hard water marks always built up on both my kitchen sink and bathroom sink. I was constantly having to clean it off. Then one day my shower head started making a singing noise. Then my toilet started doing the same thing. At this point I knew I was in trouble with my plumbing. Hard water buildup was causing this singing noise to come from both appliances. So the bottom line is - this device was doing absolutely nothing to soften my water! I ended up throwing this electronic de-scaler system in the garbage. Then I bought a real soft water system that uses softener salt and I have absolutely loved it! I no longer have hard water marks on both my kitchen sink and bathroom sink. So my advice is do not waste your money by buying this system but buy a real soft water system instead that works!

We have had the Yarna CWD24 Water Descaler installed for about a few months now and have noticed a large decrease in the amount of sediment in our water kettle. It is a clear glass kettle and had deposits that had to be scraped off before. Now, there are still some noticeable white chalky sediments, but they wipe off with a paper towel. The longer the unit is installed, less sediment is showing. Also have noted the water in the shower feels softer. Spring especially gave us an odor with our well water and that has really gone away too. Very happy with these easy changes. Looks like it will keep improving our water as time goes on with the unit installed as we have an older home with older pipes. Installation was simple. Have tape handy to hold down the ends if you are installing alone! Very happy with this very affordable purchase and its effectiveness.

Fácil instalación. Si reduce significa mente el sarro

There are a TON of reviews on this and by and large here is mine: - Simple to install, in fact it seems almost to easy but it just is - Has reduced the hard water spotting we used to have on the chrome fixtures (not eliminate them) - Water is NOT softer, which is what they tell you. It will smooth out the structure of the mineral so it will reduce the buildup and that is the goal with this device - I didn't want a salt brine to have to deal with nor the big bags of salt and the added expense of installation - Other users, at least 94% + like the system and of course there are those who have tried it and for some reason didn't work, but the percentage is simply too high to not give it a try. - Our home is central Canada, very hard water (and added nasty chemicals), so this was installed to help add life to our hot water system and reduce the mineral deposits on the fixtures, mission accomplished there. Cons: - Power cord could be longer, perhaps a 10' cord as it's super light and takes up little space in the package

It's probably just a placebo effect, it really does not work or do anything to prevent the buildup of minerals on heating elements. I use a distiller, it's 5 liters and heats up water to a boil. The buildup after only 5 liters is still huge and even soaking it in vinegar doesn't help that much, exactly the same as before installing the Yarna placebo unit. No difference whatsoever. Look at the photos and see how much minerals are stuck to the bottom of my distiller only after distilling 5 liters of water. I do 5 liters daily, and fully clean it up before each use. Now imagine the buildup in your hot water tank after thousands and thousand of liters of water, which doesn't take that long.. Yes I've installed it properly and no, it's not doing anything. Yes it's going back to Amazon. It's a waste of money.

I went with this descaler after reading all the good reviews. I wasn’t a fan of getting a water softening system and this seemed like a great alternative. It really is. It’s been installed on my water line for 3 months now and I can definitely see the difference. I usually have to soak my shower head in CLR after 3 months but it’s still perfectly clean with no calcium build up. Also, just cleaned my shower and it was so much easier this time. I just had to give it a quick wipe down where before I would need to spray it down with CLR foam and scrub it hard to get all the dried calcium deposits off. If you’re looking to get rid or reduce calcium build up in your home I would highly recommend this descaler. NOTE: My water is on the less hard side at 50 ppm
