Scalesweeper is an electronic hard water descaler designed to help reduce limescale buildup in plumbing, water heaters, and household appliances without salt, chemicals, or plumbing modifications.
An electronic water conditioner or electronic descaler, like Scalesweeper, does not use chemicals or salt to treat hard water. Scalesweeper attacks hard water particles with electro-magnetic waves. These electronic waves treat the water as is comes into the home so the entire plumbing system and appliances are protected from hard water problems. Electronic hard water conditioners prevent scale deposits from forming and allows remaining scale to break down.
When it comes to hard water treatment systems, an electronic water conditioner, like Scalesweeper, is simple and easy. Not only is Scalesweeper proven to be effective in pipe scale removal and prevention, but it is safe, friendly to the environment, easy to install and requires no ongoing maintenance.
What Problems Does Hard Water Cause?
Hard water can contribute to:
White Residue on Faucets & Shower Doors
Mineral Buildup Inside Water Heaters
Scale Accumulation in Pipes
Water Spots on Dishes & Glassware
Reduced Appliance Efficiency
Increased Cleaning & Maintenance
How Does an Electronic Hard Water Descaler Work?
Scalesweeper uses electronic frequency technology designed to influence how calcium and magnesium minerals behave as water flows through your plumbing system. Rather than removing minerals from the water, the system helps keep them suspended so they are less likely to attach to pipes, fixtures, and appliances.
The microprocessor technology in electronic descalers and electronic hard water conditioners generate a series of electromagnetic waves that excite calcium and magnesium molecules. These excited molecules remain in suspension, keeping them from bonding to each other or to pipes, fixtures, appliances or any other surface that comes into contact with the water. ScaleSweeper treated water helps dissolve preexisting scale throughout your home’s plumbing system and appliances. ScaleSweeper protects against scale buildup and scale corrosion 24/7 and works on galvanized, copper or plastic piping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Scalesweeper a water softener?
No. Scalesweeper is an electronic water descaler designed to help reduce mineral scale buildup without removing naturally occurring minerals from the water.
Does Scalesweeper remove minerals from water?
No. Scalesweeper does not remove calcium or magnesium minerals, so water hardness test readings will remain the same.
Does Scalesweeper require salt or chemicals?
No. Scalesweeper operates without salt, chemicals, filters, or ongoing maintenance.
Can Scalesweeper help reduce existing scale buildup?
Scalesweeper is designed to help reduce mineral buildup over time while helping reduce new scale formation in plumbing and appliances.
Does Scalesweeper work with PEX?
Yes. Scalesweeper is compatible with common pipe materials including copper, PVC, PEX, galvanized, and stainless steel.
Is installation difficult?
No plumbing modifications are required. Scalesweeper installs externally on the incoming water pipe using antenna wires and tie-wraps.
How hard can my water be?
Scalesweeper is designed for water hardness levels up to 25 grains or approximately 425 ppm.
