• Small Wonder reduces soap scum and increases soap lather.
• Provides your water with soft water characteristics without the addition of salt or chemicals.
• Water feels silkier and soap rinses easier leaving you feeling squeaky clean.
• Reduces water spots on dishes and fixtures.
• Provides an environmentally friendly alternative to salt based water softeners

• It dissolves and flushes out existing scale deposits Improving water flow in severely scaled systems.
• Eliminates unsightly scale on faucets, shower heads, sink holes, and toilets.
• Removes existing lime scale deposits from faucets, shower heads, sinks, and toilets.
• Prevents fresh deposits of lime scale from forming.
• Extends the life of your water heater saving money on energy costs.
• Saves septic systems or tile beds from the damaging effects of brine (backwash) from water softeners.
• Works hand-in-hand with iron filters, ozone systems, and UV systems helping to keep these systems free of hard scale deposits and working properly so that they last longer.
• Works great in tandem with water softeners, reducing the amount of salt and backwashing required by the system.  Less strain on the softeners can reduce maintenance, extend the life expectancy, and improve the efficiency of the system.  Back to top

• Small Wonder treated water is healthy for people, pets, and plants.
• With no added chemicals or salt, the beneficial calcium and magnesium remain in the water making it healthier to drink.
• Salt based water softeners add a significant amount of sodium into the water, which is why doctors advise patients with high blood pressure not to drink it.
• The decreased surface tension of the treated water makes it easier for plants to absorb making them healthier while saving water.
• Helps control algae and bacteria.  Lime scale inside pipes and tubing provides a breeding ground for bio-growth.  Since, lime scale is prevented and removed by the Small Wonder system, bio-growth will be significantly reduced.
• Reduces harsh affects of hard water on skin and clothing.
• Itchy skin conditions including psoriasis and eczema are greatly improved or eliminated.
• Small Wonder carries the CE mark which certifies that the product has met EU health, safety, and environmental requirements, which ensure consumer and workplace safety.
• Improves water taste.  Minerals in the water are removed from the solution, which eliminates the harsh or bitter taste in the water.

• Low operating costs - less than $10 per year in electricity consumption.
• Saves energy and cuts on energy bills because each 1/8  inch of lime scale removed increases heating efficiency by 30%.
• Saves water as no regeneration required to back flush system as in a salt or reverse osmosis system.

• Unlike salt based water softeners, Small Wonder Systems are eco-friendly, and have no negative effects on the environment.
• Salt discharged by softeners end up in our water sources such as wells, lakes, rivers, streams, and aquifers.  That is why salt based softeners have recently been banned in many communities in Texas, California, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
• Small Wonder uses no salt or harmful chemicals.  Treated water is beneficial to vegetation and has been proven to increase plant growth.
• Salt water softeners also use significant amounts of water during their regeneration process.  By eliminating softeners, water otherwise used for regeneration will be saved.
• By eliminating the scale accumulated in heating elements, the heat transferred is optimized saving up to 30% in energy use.  Less energy consumption means less greenhouse gases resulting in reduced global warming.

• The water feels softer on your skin and washes better.
• It is easier to build up a lather and hair feels much softer after shampooing.
• Customers with contact lenses find that hard water stings their eyes and they need to rinse the contacts with wetting solution, but after the Small Wonder treatment they can actually rinse their contacts and their eyes with plain water without irritation.
• Personal satisfaction.  The Small Wonder is an eco-friendly technology that does not discharge harmful salt or chemicals and saves energy reducing global warming.  For those people who are conscious about the necessity to protect the environment the use of this technology will give you a great degree of personal satisfaction.

• Salt softened water is corrosive to appliances and copper piping.   Before using the Small Wonder technology, it was found that salt softeners did not extend the life of water heaters compared to using no water treatment due to the corrosive nature of the salt water.
• The Small Wonder significantly lengthens the life of water appliances and causes them to run more efficiently.  Unlike a salt water softener, the Small Wonder  eliminates scale build up in water appliances and even removes existing build up without adding salt.  Back to top

Water is a good solvent and picks up impurities easily.  As water moves through soil and rock, it dissolves minerals and holds them in the solution.  Calcium and magnesium dissolved in water are the two most common minerals that make water "hard".  The degree of hardness becomes greater as the calcium and magnesium content increases.

When you consider that ¼ inch of scale in your water heating element will cause you to use 40% more energy to heat up water, lime scale can have a significant impact in your wallet, as well as environmental consequences.
