Scalehammer is a patent pending product of VKI Technologies that produces results never before seen with other water treatments - until today!

Here are few of our customers' experiences:

"I installed the Scalehammer in my home and it works perfectly! At a few customers, I replaced the water softener by a Scalehammer for the limescale problems. The Scalehammer’s installation is much easier, does not require any maintenance and does not take up as much space. My customers are satisfied. The Scalehammer allows the water to generate the same benefits as soft water. I believe in the product!"

Marcel Guillemette
Entrepreneur for 32 years, Plomberie Marcel, Warterloo, Qc

"The Scalehammer is part of our higher quality service standards along with the installation of filtration system and increased training. They surely contribute to a diminution in service calls and that is why we systematically install the Scalehammer with each new or rebuilt coffee machine and water refrigeration system in Quebec and Ontario. We install about 50 Scalehammer a month."

"It has been 2 years now that we have our Scalehammer and I though I should drop you a line to tell you how great it is.  An improvement is noticed immediately on chromes, stainless and dishes. Dishes and cutlery came out of dishwasher murky and milky before using Scalehammer and we had dark ugly stains in the dishwasher.

Stains did not worsen from the time unit was installed and stopped the usual ongoing buildup and it improved with scrubbing over a bit of time."

Cathy Bach

"We bought a Fifth Wheel and installed our Scalehammer there to prevent deteriorating effect due to lime scale.   Owning a house with the same water hardness level we also knew we absolutely wanted to stay away from that kind of unaesthetic view on anything chrome or stainless steel as well as rusty looking stains in the toilets and showers.

It works great!"

Candace and John Barone

"A friend suggested we buy a Scalehammer as we were complaining of how often we had to descale our shower heads and taps as we were losing pressure due to clogs as well as less lather when showering.  We are very happy to have spent so little money for such great peace of mind.  We love our SCALEHAMMER! It works amazingly well."

Fernie and Linda Goncalves

"I am retired and was looking for some sort of water treatment unit to prevent the use of acidic chemicals and it had to be something which would not involve maintenance as I cannot use a sodium water softner for health reasons…was it at all possible? YES! 

I cannot believe how well SCALEHAMMER works! You do not need anything else."

Irma Ditosta

"We have an Artesian well and our water is definitely hard. We tried the Scalehammer without having too many expectations. To our great surprise, we quickly noticed the absence of the white residue that usually accumulates in the kettles, and, in particular, in the toilet bowls, which we had trouble cleaning, even using highly acidic products (such as CLR). Since we installed the Scalehammer, the water feels different and our skin is softer. My husband suffers from eczema and his condition has since improved greatly. I was initially very puzzled when I started using this new product since it was just wound round a pipe, but we quickly found out that it does indeed work. The Scalehammer is indispensable for people living in the country with hard-water problems."

"We have extremely hard water, and, before installing the Scalehammer, we used a salt softener. Scalehammer proved to be more efficient than our previous softener and we no longer worry about salt fillings. We no longer have rust rings on our pots or deposits in our toilet bowls. The Scalehammer is a very effective softener, and, above all, doesn't require maintenance."

"Hard water was a real pain for us. Before installing the Scalehammer, we had to clean the calcium deposits on the inner components of our ice machines with powerful acids. We had to carry out this maintenance every two months. The performance level of our ice machines is an indicator of the amount of calcium deposits in our equipment. It's clear that calcium is affecting our equipment.

Two months after installing the Scalehammer, our equipment is still working to the maximum of its capacity. Five months elapsed before we had to scale them. With the Scalehammer, we carry out maintenance less often and it's easier. We no longer need to use acidic products."

"Scalehammer has given us fantastic results. Even with using filters, we had to carry out monthly maintenance in certain areas. Now, with the Scalehammer, we only have to carry out maintenance every four months. It goes without saying that we appreciate the time and labour costs we are saving."

"In September of 2003 we installed the Scalehammer in a location where there was a severe lime problem. At this particular site we had been sending a service tech out to every three weeks to clean the lime off the water sensor and other areas that where causing the coffee machine to malfunction. We had tried other descaling devices in the past with no success, so we were a little skeptical. It is now March 2004 and we haven't been back. The Scalehammer has proved to be an excellent product."

"We deal in our area with some of the hardest water I have ever seen. Our average service in the field for a descaling is only three months. With the Scalehammer installed, we now service our coffee makers every 6 months. Our service techs are observing an impressive decrease in scale build up.

Every descaling maintenance costs us $100, the saving the Scalehammer provides us is amazing!"
