AO Smith Whole House Salt-Free Descaler System

The A. O. Smith Descaler is a salt-free and chemical-free system that effectively reduces scale buildup in pipes and plumbing without softening water or removing minerals that cause hardness. This engineered technology naturally and effectively inhibits scale accumulation by transforming dissolved hard minerals into inactive microscopic crystal particles that are harmlessly passed through the water and down the drain. No cleaning, backwashing, salt-bags, or electricity is required.

This descaler system is ideal for use when the incoming water supply has a hardness under 15 grains per gallon, alkalinity under 250 mg/L, pH under 8.3, and less than 0.3 ppm of iron. It works effectively on water for drinking, cooking, showering, and bathing, making it perfect for households of 4 or more people. However, the system will not reduce TDS, sulfur, or iron.

The A. O. Smith Whole House Descaler is engineered to work with both well and city water systems. It includes the descaler unit, a shut-off valve, a hose adapter, and a nipple. The system is designed to be long-lasting and cost-efficient, reducing scale buildup for up to 6 years or 600,000 gallons, and comes with a 6-year warranty.

Not only will this descaler protect and extend the life of your appliances, but it will also safeguard your home's internal plumbing from the harmful effects of scale accumulation. If you experience a leak from the descaler tank, turn off the water supply immediately and ensure a tight connection throughout the installed system using a wrench. Do not overtighten, as that could cause cracks and further leaking.

For installation, you'll need a drill, a wrench, channel locks, a crimping tool, plumber's tape, a PVC pipe cutter, and PVC primer and glue. We recommend using a professional if pipe cutting is required, and basic plumbing knowledge is recommended.

In summary, the A. O. Smith Descaler is a cost-effective, salt-free, and chemical-free solution for moderate water hardness. It effectively inhibits scale buildup, protects appliances and plumbing, and is suitable for both well and city water systems. With its long-lasting performance and easy maintenance, it's an excellent choice for households looking to improve their water quality and extend the life of their appliances.
