Polyphosphate filter for washing machine

Hard tap water during washing is a problem in central Russia. To soften it, a special filter is designed that contains sodium polyphosphate. When passing through this substance, resembling salt, the water is cleaned of impurities that form scale on the heating element of the washing machine. This is an inexpensive filter that every family can afford. And reviews of polyphosphate filters for the washing machine will talk about its effectiveness.

Better and more effective.
A comment
A polyphosphate filter has one VERY significant drawback: it cannot be used to prepare drinking water, because polyphosphates are toxic!

In this regard, it is better to use the Aquashield electromagnetic filter. There are no chemical downloads and replacements (cartridges, membranes, etc.)
pros
Cheap, efficient
Minuses
Not drinkable, toxic, quick to load
Term of use
more than one year

A comment
I bought an apartment and slowly began to furnish it, so it came to the washing machine. I immediately decided that I would definitely put the cleaning filters on the washing machine as well. In the store I was offered to buy an Iceberg polyphosphate filter from Sanaks, which I did.
The filter turned out to be quite small, in length it was no more than 13-15 cm, and in diameter about 6 cm. I was a little embarrassed that the box did not contain instructions for the product, I did not really understand what this whole structure was made of.

The filter is made of transparent material, it can be seen that there are small 1 cm white balls inside it. It is they who collect all the muck, dirt, impurities, etc. in themselves.
The filter has a service life, as a rule, it is four hundred washings, so you need to carefully monitor its condition, otherwise it will be just a useless device.
pros
Water purification from impurities, the service life of the equipment increases.
Minuses
Installation
Term of use
several months

A comment
After connecting a new washing machine, the plumber suddenly proposed to install an additional polyphosphate filter to it to soften the water. As a person who is far from this topic and does not understand anything, I decided to agree and do not regret it. Such a filter not only softens water, but also prevents the formation of corrosion in technology. The polyphosphate filter helps prevent the formation of scale on the ten, and at the same time also cleans them of limescale.

Such a filter is enough for 400 standard washes, given that I use the machine no more than 3 times a week, then I have enough for at least 2 years. In general, it is not a bad alternative to Kalgon, it is much cheaper and more practical, it turns out, I set it and forgot for 2 years about problems with scale and water hardness. I recommend that polyphosphate filters are effective and help.
pros
Saving money, efficiency.
Minuses
Fragile.
