Wondering how an Anti-Scale System works and how it differs from a traditional water softener? Read on below!
Hard water can cause "scale" to build up in your pipes. This scale is made of calcium and magnesium and can clog plumbing over time. It can also coat the heating element in your water heater. This can make it less efficient and shortening its lifespan.
Traditional water softeners reduce calcium and magnesium using special filter media. Anti-Scale Systems change these minerals into tiny crystals that are less likely to cause buildup. The Whirlpool® Anti-Scale System doesn’t use salt or chemicals, so very little maintenance is required. However, adding anti-scale media every few years may help, depending on your water use and quality.
