We have an electromagnetic 'softener' on our main pipe, purchased from the Innovations catalogue about 4 years ago. It is a useless waste of space. There has been no appreaciable difference to the rate at which everything scales up in our house. It has been installed and switched on permanently since the day it was delivered to our house. I spent the first 12 months convincing myself we would soon see a gradual improvement as our pipes began to de-scale, but TBH eventually we just forgot it was there.
