Submitted by Andrea Turner from Cawston BC, MERUS Ring installed since March 2020
written on 2. Juni 2020 at 07:29 o'clock
I purchased the Merus ring in March of 2020 as an alternative to buying a water softener. Once it was installed I started paying close attention to see if I could notice an improvement. The first thing I noticed was the much longer time it took for my kettle to scale up and the ease with which it’s cleaned up with a wee swish of vinegar. The alkaline spots still appear if water evaporates on my stainless steel counter but it’s very easier to wipe away. The build up around the base of my taps has cleared and I no longer noticed the rust precipitating out and staining my bathtub and leaving the edge of my bath pillow. The water feels softer and my dishwashing liquid and laundry detergent seem to bubble up better. Soap scum is easier to wash off the sink and tub too. But the most surprising thing is that although I have filtered my drinking water for years, it tastes better now when it’s not filtered. I’ve stopped filtering the water I drink out of the tap because it tastes so much better. I’d recommend the Merus Ring to anyone looking for an alternative to a water softener, the results are noticeable, there’s no salt being discharged into my septic tank and I’ve had great customer service.
