I installed this device during the install of our new boiler combi hot-water unit to prevent any scale in the finned heat exchanger. We are impressed with the results. Our dishes come out cleaner from the dishwasher, shower heads seem to be unclogging themselves, even our dogs are happier. We have always trusted 3M products, they are first rate.

I’ve been using these for a few years now, I service my heaters annually and diligently check for scale when doing so. It’s anecdotal but these do seem to make a real difference

This unit was recommended to use on the inlet side of a tankless water heater. It install pretty easily and the cartridge is easily replaceable. It’s all metal construction, so more durable than the plastic units you typically see on the shelf. I have two of these units. One was install almost a year ago and seems to be working fine. Only time will tell if it’s successful in prolonging the life of the tankless heater. Depending on your water and water use, you need to replace the filter cartridge every 6-12 months.

Installed easily using pex adapters. Hopefully will protect my tankless system.

I purchased this on the recommendation of the tankless water heater manufacturer. It is easy to install if you have plumbing skills and is more durable that the plastic filters they sell.

So far, after one month, notice there is no difference in water flow or pressure. Also no scale build up on shower heads.

Easy installation. Does what it’s supposed to do.. I installed this with a tankless water heater because we have a lot of calcium in our water.

I bought on my own and gave to my plumber friend to add to my line if he thought it was worth it. He stated it was a good thing to add to help protect my tank less system. I’ll do anything to keep that tank clean and operational, glad Home Depot on-line recommended it when I purchased my tank.

Will take some time to see results but install was easy.

This unit works on a siphon principle and depends on a large volume of water passing trough the 3/4″ water line to draw the chemical out of the canister. That fact is not found anywhere in the desciption. Gallons used at the necessary and stated flow rate to canister depletion should be provided in the description.

The Aqua Pure Inhibitor was purchased to minimize the scale buildup on our new tankless water heater. It must be working because our dishes show much less of the white film when removed from the dish washer.Installation was easy. I can be installed and pointing in any direction.,

Although how well it functions will become over time the installation was easy and the filter/connector are nice looking, good quality and compact.
