Fox Run Kettle Scale Collector, 1 x 1 x 1 inch, Stainless Steel Mesh

This really worked on my water kettle, I have hard water and the build up was horrible, this worked great, and so easy to use the durability is great you just put it in your pot and forget it, it resales no problem will buy again if this wears out, but that will not be for a long time I can tell. Good buy.

works great, no lime build up

We have a lot of lime build up in our teapot. A filter for the water still didn't solve the problem. But this little item does a good job. I recommend you buy two of them, as it works best if the mesh dries before you try to extract the lime that has built up. That way you can have one drying/cleaning, and a fresh one in the pot. There can still be some build up - it's not a miracle - but it helps a great deal.

Good

These are just like the one I usually get from England! They are great for my electric Teakettle! But they are very expensive here!

Seems to be working well

I had serious doubts about this purchase, but I live in an area known for it's hard water scale build-up in things like tea kettles, coffee pots and so on. When I purchased the "Blue Heavy Duty Stainless Steel 2.5 LT Whistling Kettle" sold by: "One Way Street" on Amazon; different reviews reported "rust", also a problem here, I figured, for the price, even if it doesn't work, I'm not out that much. Before this "scale collector" came in, I was already seeing signs of potential scale in the form of loose sediment every time I boiled water. (several times a day). When this "scale collector" came, I immediately put it in my new pot. I still love the pot. The color is almost a perfect shade of blue.. my favorite. This little "scale collector" did and keeps on doing it's job. The sediment is all but completely gone, (If not completely), and not a hint of rust. I don't want to attribute too much to this simple device, but I'm just reporting as I see it. Would I recommend this simple little device ? Absolutely. If you have the same problem with sediment as I did, give it a try. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

Not doing anything, and waist of money

Kettle scale collector is very helpful.I always use it

Realmente no hay un solo deposito de calcio. Así que funciona bien.

This is a great item to add to your kettle. We have hard water with minerals and this little thing helps keep the kettle clean! Will definitely re-order

I've had this in my stainless steel kettle for a month or so now and, while it doesn't remove existing scale it does seem to keep more from forming on the walls of the kettle. I'm sure if you started with and absolutely clean kettle this would keep it that way. As it says in the instructions, cleaning scale off the collector is easy. Just squeeze it like a sponge and rinse it off and the scale falls away.

I have a two gallon water distiller that I use this device in. We have a fairly high mineral content in our civic water so there is a fair bit of scale produced by the unit. It wasn’t too hard cleaning it with a bit of steel wool but this unit collects some (not all) and what’s left now does not seem to be as dense as before. Still have to scrub but a 5-10 minute job is now 4-7 minutes and I’m happy with how it works for me. This was not particularly expensive and I may order another on the chance to make cleanup even easier.
