the most simple way to do is to use white vinegar and paper towel.

soak the paper towels (use more layers if the scale is heavy) in white vinegar. Apply the paper towels to the hard water scale. the paper towels should cover the scale completely and be three to four layers thick. allow the paper towels to lay on the scale for 10 hours depending on the amount of scale being softened. clean the softened scale using the paper towels. Repeat the same process as needed.

Hi,


Any acid will do.  Even mild acids will do.  So use Lemon Acid (squeeze some lemon to a dish, and you get a home-made cleaner).  Sure you have at home several acids any one of them will do.
Best regards,

I live in a HARD WATER area and i was killing  myself. Every month, like clockwork, I was on my knees cleaning and scrubbing Hard water stains.  I hated it, so I started researching hard water and found out that the scaling and deposits was costing me a FORTUNE!!! My appliances were losing half of their life span due to corrosion and deposit.  NOT only that. I found out that my water heater was scaling and my heating bill was 30% HIGHER than it should be.  YES, SCALING ACTUALLY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOUR WATER HEATER TO WORK.... Well i was so pissed, I decided to by a water softener.  Most W/S on the market are expensive and require monthly maintenance costs and filters and or SALT. This can cost up to $800 a month, and the salt is HORRIBLE for the environment... WTF???  Then i found a small company here in the U.S.A. that sells a new product that STOPS scale from forming and breaks up OLD ones, and it does all this for a ONE time cost.  NO FILTERS< NO SALT.  This means its environmentally SAFE.  I emailed them and they were awesome!! SEnt me info right away.  try em out, at least for info.  --  sso@vwp-usa.com

Come on Frizzak, you are all over the net claiming great things with this water treatment. Clear you are more than just a satisfied customer.

The brochure and other sites says nothing on how this technology is supposed to work. There is no tesing by globally recognized facilities like NSF, WQA, UL etc., that verify what these do. There are wonderful testimonies and marketing that typically find fault in other technologies and seem to prey on consumers.

Where in the world do you get that $800.00 per month cost of using a softener? Hotels don't do that. That adds to my incredulity. These things will not make water soft, will not remove iron or calcium and a host of other things that customers discover only after it is installed. Then try to get THAT guy back on for a refund. There may be areason why local dealers will have nothing to do with them.

Glad you like but please take it easy on your web proliferations.
