Hi!
As my parents are getting a device called a "Calcium Magnet" installed on their main supply as an experiment, courtesy of the owners of the rental place they are inhabiting, to alledgedly save electricity by eliminating the calcium buildup in their pipes, washing machines and other devices involving heating water, I was wondering if these things actually WORK and HOW.
Unfortunately the only thing I can find is that it supposedly do something to the calcium which prevents it from becoming solid.
Anyone have any experience with these gadgets? And what type (non-electrical/electrical) is best? What's the science behind this?
I'm looking for things which can either disprove or prove it in order to have something to make the experiment either permanent or thrown into the garbage can.
