Product Description
Use less soap, and remove scale from your pipes - continuously, automatically and for only about $5 in electricity a year. Clearwave is the most advanced computerized anti-scale device available today. Its computer chip is programmed to bombard water passing through your pipe with over 200 different electromagnetic low frequency pulses. These electromagnetic pulses have been scientifically proven to increase the electromotive attraction potential of the water to mineral salts. The result is that the mineral salts (mainly calcium bicarbonate) stays dissolved in the water instead of converting to insoluble calcium carbonate and attaching itself to the inside of pipes as scale. Existing scale in pipes, water heaters, toilets and faucets begin to soften and dissolve away. Recommended for dishwashers, washing machines, coffee makers, and boilers. Clearwave can even replace base exchange softening systems and the associated maintenance costs. Installation of the Clearwave is simple. Mount to the main incoming water pipe to the home with pipe clips, wrap the antenna leads around pipe and then plug into a 110V power supply. One unit handles incoming supply pipes up to 1" in diameter. For pipes 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" use two units in series. Works with all types of pipe including: copper, pvc, galvanized, and stainless steel. Manufacturer's part number CW-1.
- Use less soap and remove scale from your pipes
- Costs less than $5 per year
- Replaces base exchange softening systems

I was enticed by the decent reviews of this product. After a few weeks of my own research, I decided to buy one myself and keep my fingers crossed that it would work. My main concern regarding the water in my house is the calcium buildup, which this product claims to treat/prevent. The product manual also claims that if you are unsatisfied with this product for any reason that you can return it to the place of purchase within 90 days. I will address this problem later...A little background. This water conditioner claims that it will not only prevent buildup, but actually reverse the effects of existing calcuim buildup. This product was installed in a brand new house with a brand new electric water heater. I had my water tested and the grains of calcium were 23 (this product claims to work by itself up to 25). I gave the product 2 months before I attempted to return it. Over those two months, I determined the product to be a scam. Calcium built up on my shower heads, clogging them, around the sink drains, in my new dishwasher, and in my toilets. My old house is located in the same water district as my new house, so I went into this knowing the effects the untreated water has on fixtures. With this knowledge, I though the Clearwave water conditioner would, at the very least, slow down the buildup of calcium...but it didn't.So, still well within my 90 return window guaranteed by the manufacturer, I contacted amazon and requested a return. They stated I needed to contact the company that fulfilled my order (Smarthome.com) and request a refund through them. I contacted Smarthome.com and they stated the order was actually fulfilled through Amazon. So back to Amazon I went. Amazon then stated their return policy was 30 days and they would only offer me 50% of my money back for this product. Arguing with them got me nowhere, so now I am stuck with this worthless piece of junk.For anyone still interested in this product, more info can be found here:

It was easy to install and not too costly. I did notice a little more lather when I shower, but nothing drastic.

I've used this product for about a month and I notice the hard water stains are easier to remove. The shower water feels better to the touch. So at this point I'm happy. I let you know if it changes...

I owned a salt system water softener before and it was leaking hence on a market to try something new.This Clearwave unit works in a way not as obvious as the salt system. We don't feel the water was slippery as the salt system provided nor obviously see more bubble foam in the laundery wash. I've paid careful attention on the faucet residue and shower-door hard-to-remove soap scum.We continue to clean our bathroom as usual, using a squeeze after a day of showers, while the Clearwave system is in action. After the 3rd week, I noticed the shower-door scum were somewhat lesser. I set out to carefully clean the shower-door thoroughtly this time knowing that in the past it will cummulate the scum very quickly after a week or so. To my pleasant notice, simply using the squeeze after the shower, the scum is not coming back as before. The mineral deposit on the faucet is noticeablely reduced.At last, we have our clear glass door again with the Clearwave unit. I assume other benefits such as clean copper pipes, low residue hot water tank and others which are not visually noticeable quietly in the work.I feel good about the unit from the points that we're no longer use salt and don't have to waist clean precious water to regenerate the salt system any more but still can enjoy the "low maintenance" of the bathrooms and the faucets around the house.

We have well water with the lovely sulfer smell. We were very anxious to try this out. Installation was a breeze! We started noticing the next day that the drinking water was softer on the pallate. It has now been a month and we are seeing much less iron staining in the bathtub, and our soap is sudding !!!!! Thank you so much! It's amazing
