Has anyone got an electronic water descaler fitted to thier pipes? Is it effective in cutting down the amount of limescale that accumulates in the kettle. I mean the small box type fitted to your cold pipe, not the more expensive water softener installations. thank you

Water to and from my softener uses PVC and copper. Is this typical of a normal and acceptable installation?

Butkus asked:


OK all you professional and DIY plumbers, here goes…Water comes from street through 3/4″ PVC (schedule 40) pipe. The PVC pipe changes to 3/4″ copper about four feet from the water softener. Copper is used until the water softener is reached. Copper connections are used at the intake/output valves. The water leaves the softener in 3/4″ copper for about four feet. There it changes back to 3/4″ PVC (schedule 40). Can either PVC (schedule 40) or copper be used (together or seperately) in the water lines for the softener?
