Thw Drinking Water Inspectorate, on their website, indicate:

"Some of these devices have been shown to be effective in reducing the 
amount of fur or scale that actually sticks to pipes or heating 
elements. They do not soften water. However, not all products on the 
market give satisfactory performance. You are advised not to buy one of 
these devices unless the supplier will agree to a sale or return, 
subject to satisfactory performance."

If you're feeling less skeptical than Nick and me, I suggest you follow 
the DWI advice and let us know how it worked for you.
