I presume he means me. What I can say quite definitely is that
it doesn't work by electrolysing water, with the oxygen reacting with
the carbon. If it did, the hydrogen evolution would be obvious and
indeed, dangerous. The carbon would be eroded quite noticeably.
It _may_ effect the following reaction in hard water:
Ca++ + 2HCO3- -> CaCO3 + H2O + CO2
That _is_ consistent with Merrill's observations e-mailed
to me in late 1998.

Just _what_ do you see?

Not to mention _very_ expensively.

Do you sell the things?
As I said at the very beginning - Caveat emptor.
