I haven't seen any credible evidence that such a device has any noticeable effect. I have seen some good research on zinc ions in the water reducing hardness deposits. Here is a layman's version.

The well proven solution is a water softener.

A handful of magic bean seeds on sale for half off would be a better purchase.

Hehe, I grow my own magic beans.

There are some good reviews on Home Depot from verified buyers, but I remain skeptical. For something that has been on the market for so many years, one would think there would be a body of useful reviews - good and bad - from independent plumbers and users.
