Scale Remover

Question - What is the science or theory behind electronic water scale remover
( this is related to ion exchange or de ionization ) is it possible to
make one at home?
--------------------
Matthew,
Others may disagree, but I see no merit whatever in any electronic and or
magnetic scale removal and or prevention technologies currently being
offered to the public. The purported processes are not at all related to
ion exchange or de-ionization. Colorful and misleading advertising
notwithstanding, I do not believe that any manufacturers of such domestic
devices can actually demonstrate their effectiveness.
Regards,
ProfHoff
