Our well water is pretty much OK. We have a tank to increase pH (calcium carbonate) and an iron tank with Birm.

Problem is, our black cast iron sink shows calcium/lime stains all the time and it is driving my Better Half NUTS. :madhell:

A traditional water softener is not an option. Below are some magnetic units that may or may not work.

Any one out there have one. Or a similar unit?

Here's how I report them:

Observation: (FYI) This property is equipped with what appears to be a "Magnetic Water Treatment" (MWT) accessory.

Analysis: There are no formal standards governing the specification, installation or maintenance of such devices. Opinion as to their effectiveness is divided, for example see sources (pro and con) cited here (http://www.chem1.com/CQ/magscams.html).
