Why is it necessary to earth the ION Scalebuster?
The changes, which take place in the ION Scalebuster, relate mainly to the precipitation of carbonates arising from the breakdown of dissolved bicarbonates. When any change takes place in the chemical structure of a substance that results in at least a temporary change in its constituents, there is a corresponding change in electrical charge. If this charge is not allowed to neutralise which in the case of the ION Scalebuster is by means of grounding the charge to a suitable earthing connection, then the desired changes may be restricted or limited in duration.
