My daughter unhooked her water softener after she had a scale blaster installed.
"So.... we installed the water softener I told you about. We turned off
our salt water softener and the scale blaster is working really well.
The plumber said he was skeptical too, but that it really works and it's
the same technology that's used to clear arteries, etc."
