Why is our HardnessMaster™ so popular?

The Hardness Master is an excellent choice for homeowners who want soft water but don't want the salt contamination or maintenance effort and expense for ion exchange softeners.  This is a great way to soften (condition) water up to 50 grains per gallon (or 50 gpg or 855 mg/L or 855 ppm) of water hardness utilizing its advanced MaxConditioning™ technology.  Uses about 6-watts of electricity to operate.  Works effectively with Copper, PVC, CPVC, PEX, Rubber, Lead, and Steel/Galvanized Steel pipes.  Includes 3 year warranty and our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.  The Vitasalus™ HardnessMaster™ is the most advanced, effective and affordable system available today!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

What is scale?
Scale occurs when calcium and magnesium precipitate out of the water and stick to things or form on the inside of pipes, faucets, water heaters, bath tubs, sinks, basins, shower walls, tea kettles and so on.  The scale doesn't conduct heat well and it also reduces the flow through pipes. Eventually, pipes, plumbing fixtures and other water appliances can become completely clogged or even damaged.  If you see " white deposit" on on faucets, showerheads, sink holes, toilets, shower walls, bath tubs, etc., the "white deposit" is considered limescale or scale.

How do I know if my water is hard?
The simplest way to determine the hardness of water is the lather/froth test: soap or toothpaste, when agitated, lathers easily in soft water but not in hard water. Another way to tell if your water is hard is the deposit test. If you see white deposits (i.e., limescale or scale) on water pipes or plumbing fixtures that have been in use for a while, you have hard water.  The HardnessMaster does not address iron related water conditions.   For Iron, Organic Iron, Rust Water: we generally recommend the MetalMaster™ System.  For Iron Bacteria & Iron: we generally recommend both our Inline Chlorinator™ System and MetalMaster™ System.

How can I determine my water hardness level?
If you are on city water (i.e., pay a city water bill), you can contact your local municipality. If you own a private well or are uncertain about your source of water supply, please call us 24/7 at (Toll-Free) 1-877-284-5042 and we will be more than happy to speak with you and help you determine your water hardness level.

Will the HardnessMaster address iron water problems?
The HardnessMaster does not address iron related water conditions.   For Iron, Organic Iron, Rust Water: we generally recommend MetalMaster™ System.  For Iron Bacteria & Iron: we generally recommend both our Inline Chlorinator™ System & MetalMaster™ System.

What is the HardnessMaster™ system?
The Hardness Master is an intelligent alternative for hard water treatment in your apartment, home, or business.

The principle of magnetic water treatment is not new. The first patent was granted around 1900. HardnessMaster™ takes this knowledge into the 21st century by using the patented D.D.M.F. (Dynamic Distortion of Molecular Forces) technique. The electronic device treats the water by inducing magnetic and electric fields with a continuous changing frequency. This forces the dissolved minerals such as Calcium and Magnesium to crystallize in the water before the ions settle (hard scale) at walls of piping, bathroom or heating elements of dishwasher and washing machine. This action stops any further build up of hard scale by preventing the settlement of dissolved mineral ions on whatever surface.

The capability of the water to dissolve minerals will also be increased and this is the reason why hard scale layers will be softened, will slowly enter into the water stream, and will disappear down the drain.

The HardnessMaster™ makes it easy to solve your hard water problems without the use of salt or old conventional water softener technology.  The HardnessMaster™ does not remove the beneficial minerals (i.e., calcium and magnesium) from you water supply, it simply changes the property of the hardness minerals in your water supply so that they stay in solution and not form scale in pipes, water heater, on fixtures, sinks and bath walls, etc.  The HardnessMaster™ will also dissolve away any preexisting scale that may exist in your pipes and water appliances.  (NOTE: If you live in an older house or have significant preexisting limescale/scale in your plumbing or water appliances, it is very important to allow approximately 30 to 90 days, sometimes longer, to dissolve away all of the preexisting limescale/scale. This means that you may experience slightly more limescale/scale levels after the installation until all of the old hard scale layers have disappeared down the drain.  If you have clean piping and live in a new house you will only see the beneficial effects.)

What should I expect from the HardnessMaster™ system?
The Hardness Master is an intelligent alternative for hard water treatment in your apartment, home, or business.  The HardnessMaster™ makes it easy to solve your hard water problems without the use of salt or old conventional water softener technology.  The Hardness Master™ utilizes its advanced MaxConditioning™ technology to effectively soften (or condition) source water containing up to 50 grains per gallon (or 50 gpg or 855 mg/L or 855 ppm) of water hardness.  The HardnessMaster™ doesn't remove the beneficial minerals (i.e., calcium and magnesium) from you water supply, it simply changes the property of the hardness minerals in your water supply so that they stay in solution and not form scale in pipes, water heater, on fixtures, sinks and bath walls, etc.  It will even dissolve away any preexisting scale that may exist in your pipes and water appliances.  (NOTE: If you live in an older house or have significant preexisting limescale/scale in your plumbing or water appliances, it is very important to allow approximately 30 to 90 days, sometimes longer, to dissolve away all of the preexisting limescale/scale. This means that you may experience slightly more limescale/scale levels after the installation until all of the old hard scale layers have disappeared down the drain.  If you have clean piping and live in a new house you will only see the beneficial effects.)

Since our 6-month 100% Satisfaction Guarantee also includes a performance guarantee, we respectfully require our customers to properly install and use the HardnessMaster™ for at least ninety (90) days before returns may be authorized.  This is to ensure customer satisfaction regarding the HardnessMaster™ water conditioning system performance, which often requires considerable descaling (i.e., gradual reduction of existing limescale buildup) from the piping system and water appliances (i.e., water heater, dishwasher, etc.).  It is also important to understand that the HardnessMaster™ does not remove beneficial minerals such as calcium and magnesium from your source water, and, it does not address iron related water conditions. 

How is scale eliminated when neither the HardnessMaster™ system nor the coils are in contact with the water?
The HardnessMaster™ system's advanced MaxConditioning™ technology works by producing an electronically applied field generated by a coil around the pipe. The fluids (usually water based) come under the influence of this field such that the mineral ions are forced to precipitate. (Controlled precipitation). These precipitates (crystals) flow down the drain with the water flow.

Does it really work?
Yes.  It is so amazingly simple and impressive that many of our current customers couldn't believe it actually works until they experienced it for themselves.  In fact, our most skeptical customers have typically said one of the following statements after using the HardnessMaster™: "It actually works!" or "This thing works!".  We also include a 6-month 100% Satisfaction Guarantee with the HardnessMaster™ system so if you are not completely satisfied with its performance, you will get a complete refund.  Customer Testimonials

How can I tell if it's working?
In around four to six weeks, if not right away depending on the level of pre-existing scale build-up in your plumbing system, you should notice:

• The softening of scale around the basins
• Scale flaking away from the kettle element and shower rose - Water often feels silkier
• Water feeling hotter, improved performance of washing machines and dishwashers
• The ability to reduce the amount of soap, shampoo, detergents and cleaners
• Easier cleaning of surfaces, especially baths, basins and sinks.

Customer Testimonials:

"somewhat satisfied
Dear sir,
We have hard well water,mainly calcium.
Have had your unit for some time now, but seems TO NOT be doing a very noticable job of removing the lime. Dont know if installing another unit would do the trick."
Rick S., Lisbon, IOWA (IA)

"Reduced lime build-up and saved me money
I have been using my HardnessMaster unit since 2009. It replaced a salt-type water conditioner. The HardnessMaster does a great job in reducing the lime build-up in the shower.
Also, not purchasing salt is saving me money."
Rudy M., Cave Creek, Arizona (AZ)

"Working great!
As far as I know, the HardnessMaster electronic conditioner is working fine. The water feels great."
Erwin H., Endicott, New York (NY)

"You can't afford not to have this product!
We have been using this HardnessMaster for three years. What a wonderful product! The Hardness Master doesn't take any space, unlike all the other softeners on the market today. It is just as effective as the large ones that use salt. This is a healthier solution for having all the soft water you need and you will never run out due to needing a regeneration, or having to wait for the bulky system to backwash for hours! Nothing to clean, repair, replace or ever buy again... Thanks so much, Hardness Master, for making our lives soft and healthy!"
Craig S., U.S.A

"HardnessMaster did all as advertised & then some
We have rather hard water, however, the taste & smell is fine. Scale had built up around the hot water heater hot water exit pipe on the top of the heater. In a matter of a few short weeks all evidence of the scale was gone & the scale has not returned to this date. Also, the humidifier element on my gas, forced air furnace had accumulated significant scale. I cleaned the filter & no scale has returned."
Ken T., Durand, Michigan (MI)

"Works good
I installed the HardnessMaster in October 2011 along with silt and carbon filters and a UV unit in the house. There is mostly well water in the outskirts of the Albuquerque area and you can tell how hard the water is by the white stained roofs around the water evaporators on the roofs. I have blood pressure problems, so I didn't want a salt unit in the house. We also have central air conditioning, but I put in 2 medium sized evaporative coolers to see if I could save on electricity this last summer in a couple of windows. I hooked up straight to the well without going through the Hardness Master and I had to clean off the side vents about every week from all the white crud. I have had no problems with water spots in the kitchen or baths. I am very happy with the HardnessMaster."
Ken H., Rio Rancho, New Mexico (NM)

"Excellent value, excellent results.
When I finally got tired of dumping salt bags, I decided to explore options, I must admit I was leery of the claims made but with a money back guarantee, figured there was little to lose. We only reside in the home six months of the year, so half the year I simply unplug the unit and turn the water off. When we return it is simple to plug the unit in and we have soft water. I will not have a home without the HardnessMaster Electronic Water Conditioner."
Bob Z., U.S.A

"Did not work to what I thought it would do.  Did not work as fast as I was lead to belive,but did help some."
Jimmy K., Schoolcraft, Michigan (MI)

"Very Positive
Our well water is very hard, and a water softening system only took care of the hot side. Once we put this device on our well, we knew the HardnessMaster was working immediately because the stainless steel dog water bowl NEVER became ringed and calcified. Definitely recommend the HardnessMaster product to anyone who needs hot and cold softened water - it makes everything in the house look and work better."
Janet L., Corrales, New Mexico (NM)

"The HardnessMaster unit is working as advertised."
Robert W., Honaker, Virginia (VA)

"I am on city water that is about 9-10 grains of hardness...I installed one of these units about a month ago and within a few days the results were visable. The largest improvement by far was the lack of salt buildup crust that forms around the faucets and spray heads. The long term results will be in our power humidifier, water heater and dish washer. We think our skin feels softer and requires less lotion in this super cold weather we have been having. I just can't believe how well this thing works - and hopes it works forever."
Jerry C., Elmira, New York (NY)

"The HardnessMaster unit works as advertised.
The HardnessMaster unit works as advertised. Water spots have been greatly reduced and no salt!!"
Darrell W., Ocala, Florida (FL)

"This Hardness Master system is the best thing I have ever bought to get soft water. I set it and forget it. I don't have to worry about water leaks or running out of salt. Thank you for making my life worry free."
Marcos P., San Antonio, Texas (TX)

"Fixed the problem, cleaned the machine!
I cannot believe how well this HardnessMaster product works! My Friend owns/operates a resturant in Cayuge Heights, NY where the village water is very hard and his ice maker would plug up once a month, this not only fixed the problem but actually cleaned the machine!!"
Greg, Ithaca, New York (NY)

"Happy for this alternative to salt water softeners
What a concept! We are so very excited to be using the HardnessMaster! Our home is a green home and we were never really pleased with the use of salt water softeners. Not only do they add dangerous amounts of salt to water and people think it is actually drinkable, all of the minerals necessary to good health are destroyed. With the Hardness Master we get soft water and can drink up our badly needed minerals too! Great job!!!"
Rick and Rose B., Riverside, California (CA)

"You have a great product-hope to do more business in the future."
Lloyd R., North Richland Hills, Texas (TX)

"Far better in just three days
This appliance works! We received our Hardness Master on Monday...I installed it, and by Thursday we were noticing that the sinks weren't covered with lime residue. Even the shower felt better. The coffee pot reservoir was clean and the dishes came out of the dishwasher almost spotless. This in only three days. I really thought I was a candidate for buying the Brooklyn Bridge when I order this after a water softener company told me I was throwing my money away. Anyhow, so far so good!"
John S., Mount Pleasant, Michigan (MI)

"Great product!
You have a great product-hope to do more business in the future."
Lloyd R., North Richland Hills, Texas (TX)

"Even a woman can install it!
I live in an area that has well water causing a strong amount of minerals in the water, especially lime and calcium. Our shower-head would clog with the calcium and a rust-colored ring would form in the toilet bowl, plus our chrome faucets would always have spots that would be hard to remove. After reading many testimonials on the Hardness Master and talking directly to John at Vitasalus Inc., I purchased a HardnessMaster. It took very little time to install and "Yes", even a woman can do it. To be honest, I was very surprised to notice a change in our water quality the very first 24 hours after installation. The ring in the toilet is gone, the spots on the faucets are gone and the water no longer stains the chrome. To get such results in such a short period of time is remarkable. For the price, much more reasonable then others, the HardnessMaster is well worth the investment. No maintenance and because we have just replaced our sinks and toilets it is a very good feeling to know they will continue to keep that "new look" appearance with the help of the HardnessMaster. Take my word for it; It really works! Needless to say, I am one happy customer."
Janet C., Oconomowoc, Wisconsin (WI)

"Hard water problems solved
Just wanted to thank you for solving my hard water problems. I recently purchased a HardnessMaster whole house system from you. To be honest, I thought the Hardness Master was a gimmick at first, it being so small and relatively cheap. I noticed the hardness go away the third day after we used about 1000 gallons of water. We are now enjoying soft water without using a salt brine. Also, I now have more space in my garage since I have trashed my old salt unit. Great product. Thanks again,"
Ray M., Corpus Christi, Texas (TX)

"Difference in two days
I love this softener! The water in Las Vegas is hard (18.3 gpg). I bought the Vitasalus HardnessMaster with skepticism. I installed it in five minutes and said 'We'll see how it works'. In two days time I felt a difference! After the third day and a couple loads of laundry I could literally feel and see the difference in my clothes and around the sink and shower. I am only sorry that I didn't find the HardnessMaster sooner. I've told all my friends about the Hardness Master. Do yourself a favor and get one today!"
Scott M., Las Vegas, Nevada (NV)

"Had very hard water - now no scale, no spots!
We have been using two of the Hardness Masters for a year now with great results. As an engineer I had experience with the technology in a plant but was leery as our plant system could be overwhelmed. With the performance gurantee we were willing to give a try. We have very hard water and were not interested in the salt systems (taste and warning on shrub watering with how much salt would be put in for our hardness) and the reverse osmosis systems are very expensive. We had issues with cloudy glasses (one wash), scale in toilets (needed scraping within two weeks, limeaway and vinegar did not work), and cloudy/scale build up on glass shower doors. Our glasses no longer get cloudy in the dishwasher, the toilets only need cleaning every 4 months or so (3 times last year) and NO scraping! We put vinegar in, soak for several hours, and flush. The glass shower doors have only needed to be cleaned twice in last year and is is very easy with limeaway and sponge versus three treatments with heavy scrubbing before every several weeks."
Eric W., Lawrenceburg, Indiana (IN)

"Hello...I am on my 5th. week of using your HardnessMaster System and thus far have experienced quite a change in my water quality. Thank you for this technology. I am just now seeing a bit of power residue in my dishwasher as expected, but over all it started to improve on the first week...Thanks again for your product. We will indeed recommend the HardnessMaster to friends.
Merry Christmas,"
Richard S., New Mexico (NM)

"We installed a HardnessMaster on Sep 4, 2009. This sure is a GREAT product, all things have turned out AMAZING for us since installation. All the reviews I read before purchase are true, I will add a few more. Don't want to bore you, but we are so pleased with your HardnessMaster I would like to pass our true experience on to you.

After 10 minutes installation process, AMAZING things began to happen. First, Don, my husband opened the drain on water heater, nothing happened, no water, he thought he had to get a new value, I said just let it go till tomorrow morning and we will see what happens. After 16 hours he tried again to drain water heater, nothing happened until we had a big explosion, you would not believe what came out of that water heater, full of calcium, only took 16 hours to clear that water spigot to drain the water, took out the 5 gallons like instructions, next day the same and third day the same, for my satisfaction, I opened the spigot on the 4th day, and continued each day for a week, until I had no calcium. First thing I noticed was how soft the water felt when washing hands, they are now softer, haven't use hand lotion since installation.

Only use 1 tablespoon of liquid soap in front loading washing machine, no use of softer anymore, HardnessMaster does that for you. Don's diabetic socks come out of washer almost dry. AMAZING! Wash on normal no more heavy duty. Set my dryer on delicate, all heavy clothes dry on that setting. No dryer sheets, clothes are AMAZING soft.

Glassware in dishwasher come out sparkling clean no white water spots, AMAZING! No rinse aid. Don't like chemicals.
My home brewed ice tea is so much better tasting since installation of HardnessMaster.

Rings in commodes are getting lighter, began to notice that in about 5 days. Inside of tanks are crystal clear. Shower doors are losing water spots AMAZING! Skin is much softer, quit using hand lotion, Don and I have white hair it is so sparkling, and so much softer, need no conditioner anymore. Dryness on scalp is gone. AMAZING!

My teeth are much whiter, gum's are a pretty pink, I blame Hardmaddess> . AMAZING!

To sum this all up, less soap, electric, shampoo, need no rinses, no chemicals, cleaner clothes, better tasting water, no water spots, save your water heater, just try HardnessMaster, YOU MAY LIKE IT, all for $295, and free shipping. It really is a great all around product. I like this product so much I would even like to sell it, because I found out all those reviews were true. Just where do you get a product like that anymore? "Green" and eco-friendly technology. That is HARDNESSMASTER , AMAZING! TRY ME YOU MAY LIKE ME!

Good luck all, AMAZING!"
