Trusted Hard Water Solution with Proven Long-Term Performance
I have been using D’Cal hard water softener products for the last 6 years, and my experience has been consistently positive. The unit works reliably for a full year, after which I replace it with the same brand because it delivers dependable results and overall satisfaction. I have two overhead tanks of 1000 litres each and use one D’Cal unit per tank. This setup effectively reduces hard water impact across taps, pipes, and bathroom fittings throughout the house. Scaling is visibly reduced, and maintenance becomes much easier. The product offers a simple and practical solution for hard water problems, requires minimal effort, and provides good value for money considering the performance and protection it offers over the year. A dependable choice for anyone looking for an easy and effective way to manage water hardness at home.

Not a dependable product
I have three points to share with you all before buying it i have used for 4 months As mention it worked fine for me but not a long term solution as this company based out of hyderabad I’m also form hyderabad. I’m assuming that this product was not well tested in the place of origin-itself i don't think this product work for other areas please highly avoid this product as it is your hard earned money 1) This product was mentioned that it will make hard water soft it does but it wont you last long 2) As they mentioned it will work for 12 months but it wont last more than 4 months compared to this investment we can get many more solution as they offer for longe term financial planning 3) As i have used this product in hyderabad as this company originates from same place where i residing it failed to work on ground water 4) Even i have checked with customer care they explained about the negative reviews That it should not be used with municipal water as it shortens the life, but in my case i dont have a water connection it was purely ground water this product wares out quickly as this product wares out so quickly the price is to much high as they promised it should be prices at more of 1000 rs simply the worst investment i had Please don't buy this product. Hope my genuine review helps you a lot

Simple and elegant solution for hard water problems
This product promises to do one thing: keep your bathroom/kitchen fittings free from lime scale deposits (that nasty white deposits of calcium and magnesium). D’Cal Fulfills it’s promise stunningly with a fraction of cost of water softner systems like Kent, Eureka Forbes etc. ABOUT MY BORE WATER: ==================== My bore water has so much hardness that last time when I cleaned the overhead tank, I was able to scrap out salt deposits close to 2mm at the bottom of the tank. Lime scale deposits even after 1 usage, to an extent I gave up cleaning. Water stored in water heater for few days have rotten egg smell. If you are expecting to bring your water TDS down or make water sweet (like RO) or soft, D’Cal is not going to solve it for you. However, if you have problem with salt deposits in bathroom/kitchen fittings, tiles etc and want to keep these fittings shine and like-new, you will NOT be disappointed. INSTALLATION: ============= 1: D’CAL INSTALLATION is very simple and straight forward, just drop the product in your tank. It gets submerged and settles under the bottom of the tank. As per the manufacturer, the product may come up and float in few months, if it floats on top-surface of the water but still submerged, this product is still functional. However if it floats on top of the water like thermocol or wood, then it’s time to replace (could last 10 months depending on usage). 2: PRE-FILTER: Along with this, I installed a pre-filter (brought from AliExpress) that removed the particles that are smaller than 40microns, see link below. This is also maintenance free, they claim no need to replace filter for 30Years. 3: CLEAN DEPOSITS: If you have been using hard water for sometime, then your tiles/sink/bathroom fittings must have been containing lot of deposits. You must clean them to really see the impact of the product. I brought the below product from Herbo. I used it to clean all the existing limescale deposits. D’Cal also sells similar cleaner, which I have not tried. RESULTS: ======== I was AMAZED with its results, within 12hours of dropping the product in the overhead tank, I started to see the difference. After few days of usage: - water feels soft, there is a notable difference in water quality during bathing - lime scale deposits are almost gone (like 95%) in bathroom tiles, kitchen sink, bathroom fittings. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. Even if this lasts for 6months, for the cost of buying a full scale water softner, you can buy 1 each for 12 years, not including the hassle of maintenance and electricity. ======== Herbo Pest BlueOxy Tap Cleaner Hard Water Soap Scum Spray Bottle with one Cellulose Cleaning Pads, 500ml https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01LWJMAK6 Wheelton Water Pre Filter (WWP-02S) Carry Two Wipers Euro-standard Brass 30Years lifitime Purifier whole house 1/2"&3/4"&1 " https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bOLmAloM

Check the conditions before purchase
It's been around two weeks that I have been using this product. When I first came across it, I did some research and was very sceptical about whether it will work or not. Their team was helpful in that they made me understand the concept of how it works (which made me wanna try the product). So let me begin with that. Working: This product does not FILTER anything. The hardness of water is because of two salts (calcium & magnesium) which basically stick on different surfaces and make them go bad (like metal, skin, hair, etc). This product coats these two salts with a coating because of which they loose their stickiness. And hence indirectly turns the water SOFT. The TDS of the water will not go down, nor will the taste change. Life of the filter: They say that a single filter will work for a 1500ltr tank for about 10 months. Which is actually great if you think about it. However, my tank size is around 3250ltr. Their rep told me that I could use just single filter if I maintain atleast half tank water at all times. This is of course very difficult to do, so I bought two of these instead. I am yet to test how long it lasts. Effectiveness: I tested the water after 24 hours (as they ask you to) and I found some difference for sure. It wasn't as much as I expected it to be but definitely (refer the image). There was still some floating 'oil' kind of patches on the clean water. However, it has been a nightmare for me to provide 24 hours for every cycle of water to get filtered. More often than not the water gets finished during the day time, when I have to replenish the tank and use of the same hard water for household and personal use. Also, I still continue to feel the stickiness of the water in my hair. And it still is hard (so I don't get any foam from the soaps) TDS: One of the key takeways that I had from the reviews I read was that this product works better for higher TDS. However, they don't mention what do they mean by higher TDS or if there is any upper limit for that. I found out that the TDS for my water is 4900 and in no way are these two filters helping me out. I am not sure if this is even recommended for this high TDS (or if I need more filters to cater to the high TDS). Conclusion: I definitely see it as a promising product because of the technique they are using. However, given the practicality of time taken to refill the tank vs time taken to make water soft and the extreme high TDS levels has made me disappointed with the product. I was wondering if I should give it a 2 star or 3 (because of the unique technique) but have given 2 because I think my 6k rupees weren't spent wisely.
