We are all aware of how hard the water is on Corfu, I just wondered if the following product was effective:

http://www.ecomagnets.com/h2flow.htm

I seem to spend a small fortune on limescale prevention and this would soon pay for itself even if I just had it connected to the washing machine.

I would be interested to hear if anyone has ever bought one.

Thanks,

Julia

Thanks Lizzie, I use Calgon all the time but it isn't cheap. If this contraption works then it won't be necessary to use a preventative anymore. I wonder if it works on swimming pools?

Hi Julia,

I hope you and your family are well. I live in a very hard water area in the UK, and last year I placed a similar piece of equipment on my mains water piping. This has shown a very marked reduction in limescale (virtually non existant), and has soften the water considerably. I can always tell the state of the water from the inside of the kettle. Ours use to get furred up very much, but since installing the water magnet system (Not the one you showed, but works the same way), our kettle has been fur free.

Hope this helps.

Hi Julie what an interesting topic. I have honestly never thought about solutions to the use of water in Corfu and how you can try to resolve some of the problems; we take so many things for granted here in the UK especially part of Britain where I live (Scotland).when you turn on the tap it is without a thought�

Can I please clarify something�s here so I know I�m on track?

Are you saying that this device? Makes the water more domesticated? Or even drinkable? �If this or a similar device is in place�.

I have used the tap water over in Corfu but only for making Tea/coffee, washing.

Thanks for that Chris, it sounds as though these things work. I have to say i thought the price made it worth considering.

Roseanne, it somehow prevents limescale building up in appliances or whatever else the water goes into once it has passed over/through the device. It sounds like magnetising it alters the balance of the water so that there is less calcium but I may be wrong! I'm not sure I understand the principle. There may be more information on the website, there are certainly other products which look interesting.

If it works that will be great as I probably do at least 10 loads of washing a week, which means I spend about 15 pounds a month just on Calgon for the washing machine. I was talking to the girl who comes to cut hair and we were wondering if there was a descaler for hair as you would think that the calcium also left deposits on hair shafts and skin. She thinks it makes scalps more prone to itchyness, so maybe this magentic thing would be beneficial for skin/hair too.

I may just have to get one and find out.

Hi Julia

I fitted a magnetic water conditioner on our mains supply when we first installed the water system in our Lafki house.

It only makes a small improvement to the water scale problem, it was'nt an ECO model, I would be interested to know if you were offered it by an aquaintance or friend? They are marketed along with variouse other products through home-networkers in the UK.

It would definately not help with static water like a swimming pool, as the polarised particles(I think thats what they are called) will revert back after about 24hrs.

Bob.

Hi again Julia,

Just a though that you might like to pass on to your hairdresser friend. You can by a similar sort of mechanism that is screwed into the end of the shower pipe/hose which then allows the shower head to be screwed into this. It works on the same principle.

Unfortunately, I have only seen them on QVCUK Shopping Channel, but I have been looking elsewhere. If I find them, I will let you know.

Thanks Bob and Chris.

I only came upon the site that I put the link to by chance. I was looking for information about a magnetic dog collar that my mother was thinking of buying for one of her dogs who gets backache. It was just coincidence that I noticed this particular product.

As I said, there are other products on the site using this principle I wonder if the shower attachment is there?

Actually, now you mention it, my mother heard about the dog collar at a talk given to a residents group where she lives in Spain. I guess that is a kind of home-networker.

We seem to have gone magnet-mad in our house. My sister has bought one for her arthritis-ridden old dog and she says it certainly seems to have made some difference to him.

My Dad also suffers quite badly from arthritis and had been prescribed fairly strong painkillers for it. Unfortunately, his doctor later diagnosed that his kidneys are failing and he has had to come off a lot of his medication - including the painkillers. Because of this, Dad got some of the magnet belts and wears them on his back and round his calves. He thought they were so good that he also bought a special mattress liner containing 60-odd small magnets. He swears they are helping to ease the pain.
