Amfa4000® Magnetic Water Softener System - Max 20000 G 5Fz, Salt Free Limescale Remover, Compact Inline Water Softener, Non Electronic Water Descaler, Anti Limescale Magnet Based Water Softener Filter

The original shipment went astray in the care of DPD with the result that they tried to claim delivery whilst showing on their earlier tracking that they had returned it to the seller. Waterontharder realised I did not receive the Amfa 4000 and promptly sent me another, luckily using FEDEX. It arrived today and is now fitted. It's a quality piece of kit and I feel confident it will do what is advertised. The Amfa 4000 has now been in use for a couple of weeks and there is a remarkable difference in the limescale deposits around the taps and kitchen sink. They have virtually disappeared and any that are thinking of staying simply wipe away. The kettle is also staying free of the limescale.

I was a bit sceptical about the product and thought it rather expensive but in London limescale is so bad,i thought i’d give it a try.The kettle was an easy test to monitor .The bottom of the kettle would have noticeable limescale deposits building up rapidly but once fitted,these deposits were reduced significantly.The shower doors appear less tarnished.Its perhaps too early to make a full assessment but my initial experience has been positive.Very easy to fit.

I purchased this back in August 2024 I have given it 8 months to see what improvements it has made to my water. In Suffolk the water is extremely hard. This product has not reduced it at all. I have a reverse osmosis water filter system for drinking water and this device has not helped to prevent limescale build up at all.

In some of the less favourable reviews (in particular one from Italy) they mention that they have tested the water hardness before and after installation. These tests are chemical based but with magnetic water softeners nothing is removed from the water (unlike the salt based softeners) so the chemical composition remains the same. What happens is that the magnet changes the 'stickiness' (the chemical ability to bond to other substances) of the particles in the water. The actual water (H2O) is then able to attract previously existing limescale (which is still sticky, not having been subject to the magnet) and it is 'flushed through' the pipework.

This item works very well.

At first when I fitted the water magnet it seemed as if it was working.. This is a huge waste of over £100. I’m really angry because the manufacturer claims you won’t see any difference until at least 6 weeks. By then you can’t return the item. Total rip off! BUYER BEWARE. Don’t waste you’re money.II’m now going to invest in a traditional water softener, which I wish I had done in the first place. At least with a traditional water softener you get a guarantee. A lot more expensive but it’s worth it in the long run.I also want my money back.

Worse purchase I have made in a long time. This is not at work something worth what they sell it for. Not recommended
