does it really remove scale build up

Yes--it certainly did in my house, anyway. The shower heads and the areas around the sink faucets used to be coated with white crud, and that has totally disappeared.

Within days of moving into a brand new house with a builder-installed Nuvo, scale began to build up on the showers and faucets.I wouldn't recommend this expensive piece of junk to my worst enemy!

we live in southern california. i would see white scale buildup with a days of installing a new hose or faucet. we got the nuvo and no scale. we have been satisfied with the system.

Our water heater started making an awful pounding sound. My husband hooked up a hose and drained it and a whole bunch of white chunky stuff came out. Looked like snow. After that the water heater worked fine. The Nuvo had loosened all that build up that was inside it and now it is like new

My experience is, once there is activity with the scale, it does not turn off. If you leave it dormant, even with a weight on, it will shutoff after a while.

WVaBobby gave the best advice to clean out scale and lime. You should also always empty the monster after each use.

No this does not control scale. An I don't know of any liquid additive that controls scale either. This controls slime by preventing bacteria from growing in the water.

I use mine regularly and have no build up. I use a damp paper towel when it is still hot and it cleans right up...

yes, it takes time to build up in your body. im not sure how long, it never reallly worked for me. i would give it several months.

Yes, it does. Just pull it to increase or reduce it.... sorry for late response

One recommendation would be to circulate a mild cleaning solution (white vinegar), to help control scale buildup.

I have not noticed extra gunk build up and I dont clean my weapons a lot. It is expensive but I only use it for high wear areas such as bolt/reciever interface of my ar. The exterior gets standard slip 2000 or whatever is on hand at the time. I have only been using it for the past 8-9 months (aprox 1500 rounds rifle and 1000 rounds pistol) so take it for what its worth.

No, I did not experience flaking, scaling, etc. Unfortunately the product did nothing to take away or diminish dark spots. A waste of time and money.

Yes. You put whatever container you've got on it, then tap the button on the right to zero the scale.

Yes it does. And what's nice is that you can remove the container after hitting the tare button, and the scale remembers the value (it will then show a negative value when the container is removed). So it allows you to remove the container and fill it at a more convenient location and then place the filled container back on the scale to weigh the contents' weight.

No. This filter will only remove debris and sediment. Will not help with hard water scale.

I believe that the scale indicator is the glass tube inside the water reservoir. If it clouds up, it's time to descale the machine. I've had that happen once in a house with hard water. Dezcal cleaned up the residue.

Try some rough sandpaper, it will breakup the surface and remove the buildup. Caution: don't overdo, it does remove material.

It definitely helps, but No... it doesn't remove all the "tiny" lines. However, I am NOT sorry I bought this product. I like it.

I would look into changing detergent. It could be causing build up. You can google good detergents and then strip them.
