“Water softener magnet”: what is it?
People are increasingly looking for a magnetic water softener as a solution for limescale. What people often do not know is that this is actually called an anti-limescale magnet. This product has become increasingly popular lately. This is not surprising, as it is a relatively cheap and effective way to combat limescale.
Doe Maar Duurzaam was at Waterontharder.com and received an explanation about the Amfa4000®
Operation
The reason that limescale can build up and settle is because without an Amfa4000®, hard algonite, what you know as limestone, forms in your pipes and appliances. This process is prevented by the Amfa4000® anti-limescale system. The Amfa4000® distinguishes itself from other brands through years of research, the correctly balanced arrangement of the magnets relative to each other and the combination with Swiss technology.
The Amfa4000® uses sustainable and progressive technology, resulting in a strong field in a compact housing. This creates a powerful and small device that can be installed in small spaces without difficult interventions on the pipes.
The balanced and most effective magnet with 16,000,000 nT. Read more here about the influence of the number of Gauss in water softeners. NB. The strength of the field is only a minor factor in the operation. However, the decisive factor for the best performance is the years of research and further development. We have more than 25 years of experience and our product is made in Holland. The Amfa4000® ensures that calcium and magnesium do not crystallize as normal and that a hard lime layer does not form. The Amfa4000® anti-limescale system does not remove the minerals calcium and magnesium from the water, but changes the crystal structure so that they no longer precipitate. The lime remains in the water but no longer adheres to your equipment and pipes. Because practice is slightly different from the ideal situation, we can never prevent limescale problems 100%, but we can reduce them considerably.
