SB Elite Model is needed for those with a well
I originally bought the SB-75 unit. When I called the manufacture in Florida to ask some questions about installing I was told that because I'm in New Jersey and have a well I needed the larger SB Elite model. The installation is basically the same, but the cost of the unit is double. Also, you have to order it rather than buy in the store.
I chose to mount the unit to a board and attach that to a nearby floor joist. Keeping track of the 50 wraps of wire around the pipe was tedious with a big wad of wire. I decided to mark every 10th wrap with a marker to make counting easier. Then you have to come back and do 50 more. It took a while.
It's only been operational for less than 2 weeks. I've had scale issues for several decades. I'm hoping the investment will make a improvement.

Great Product!!
I live in southeastern Arizona where the well water is extremely hard. I was sick of scale, mineral deposits on my faucets, and having to wash my dogs' water bowl with vinegar. Since I had no space for a conventional water softener and no money for those $5K wonders, I researched and purchased the Scale Blaster Elite. Installation was easy. I put it on my water inlet before the water heater. Over time, I appreciate the Scale Blaster more and more. I installed it in early July of 2022, so I've been using it for over 6 months now. Yes, it did plug up my kitchen faucet head at first, but nothing else. I have had to do no scale cleaning of blocked faucets or my shower surround since I got this equipment. My skin is much softer when I get out of the shower, and my dogs' bowl has no more mineral build-up. It works as described and I highly recommend it.

Never noticed much of a differance, lasted 5 years
I followed the directions to a T... I can honestly say that I never notice an improvement with our water... I thinking our water is too hard 27 grams, for the Elite. And now that 5 years have passed the unit no longer functions, does not scan, only power light on.
Well.. I feel like I just wasted a bunch of money on the Scale Blaster and the electric to operate it that could have been put into a filter system.

Best Investment
A friend of mine has a similar product that is made locally. I really wanted this device, but their price gouging made me look elsewhere. I read and did some research on this product, the ScaleBlaster.
After considering what whole house filter (bought from Home Depot as well) and the ScaleBlaster Elite, I started working. I installed 3/4" plywood on the wall, and the water filtration system. Once the plumber had done all of his work, I installed the ScaleBlaster. Very easy! The hardest part is figuring out what size pipe you have and counting the wraps! That's it!
ScaleBlaster recommends that you empty the water heater after three months. Having a fairly new water heater I did not see anything come out today. Two months after the install we had some strange issues with the faucets, the two bathroom sinks and kitchen. The aerators were all coming out. As I replace them, I noticed they had a lot of calcium build up on all. Right there I knew this was working! Because it slowly removes any build up in the pipes.
The water here is extremely hard. I use bar soap. After moving in I had a very hard time getting the washcloth to lather up! Three months later, I have all the suds I need! Even the clothing coming out of the washer has a fresher and cleaner smell!
Calcium and Magnesium are the two minerals that that effect your pipes and all your appliances. Your body needs both. Unlike a water softener, this does not take the minerals out of the water. It changes its molecular properties, so they don't stick to your pipes and appliances. Thus saving them from premature repairs, and keeping the minerals you need.

Works better than water a softener!
Purchased SB Elite and installed 11 months ago (7000 sqft house). Only purchased because it was on sale. Best purchased I made in decades. The science works and it works without 40 lbs of salt every 3 weeks. I noticed a difference in the faucet pressure within hours. Installation was straight forward and easy. If you are thinking about getting one, get it and you will be pleased.

More foam!
It is hard to know if it really works. So after 3 months or so I did a 'lather' test. I filled identical unused flasks with the same amount of dishwashing liquid and the same amount of water from 4 different sources. Shook them all together, the same way. See picture for result. From left to right: 1) taken from outside faucet (not 'treated' by scaleblaster), 2) water from kitchen fountain (has a Whirlpool WHEEDF filter on it), 3) straight out of the kitchen faucet (no filter), 4) out of the fridge water dispenser (has a filter on it as well). So 1 was not treated by Scaleblaster, and 2-4 were. I think that it is pretty clear from the picture that the Scaleblaster ones have more foam than the not treated one (number 1, on the left). Not sure why the fridge dispenser water is less foamy, probably because it was colder....

I just installed the ScaleBlaster so it is too early to provide a long term review.
I have hard well water. I don't want to use a salt water softener. The alternative water softener solutions I've seen advertised are often hokum.
I installed a Panther water stabilizer many years ago and noticed little to no difference in the water.
After installing the ScaleBlaster, I noticed an immediate difference in the water. The water is "lighter". The water appears to be more bubbly and is similar to soft water.
One installation issue I ran into is the warranty card requires you to enter the serial number which is on the bottom of the unit. The installation instructions should instruct you to fill out the warranty card BEFORE you install the unit in case you do not have access to see the serial number after the installation. I called the vendor and they said the warranty card did not need to be submitted and the unit is still covered under warranty.
It's too early to tell if there will be a significant difference in the water. I'm optimistic but will need to give it more time. The manufacturer recommends trying the ScaleBlaster for 90 days. The product has a 90 day return policy. I'll give it another 2.5 mos and see what happens. I'll decide at that time whether to keep it or return it.

How's the installation?
For me, it was a bit of a pain to install, since I have a slab house with no great access to plumbing. I wound up have to cut a hole in my drywall in the garage, which is where my hot water heater and loop are. Wrapping the wire 100 times around a pipe that was an inch or so from a stud on one side with drywall on another was challenging, and not something I want to ever do again. It took me around 2 hours to install, as there is a lot of wire to pull through with each wrap. I put an access panel over it to finish it up. The mounting was straight forward and went up quick.
Does it work?
Living in AZ we have pretty hard water with scale build up on faucets and even on our blender container. After a month of use it seems to be doing what it says. I've noticed that the scale has become easier to wipe off of the faucets, some just coming off on its own, and the dishwasher seems to be cleaning better with scale disappearing. Also, after I wash the blender container I turn it upside down to dry, which has been leaving a pile of scale where the water runs.
I will say that soaps and shampoos appear to lather better as well.
Would I recommend?
In short, yes, I would recommend the scaleblaster. I like the salt free alternative and it appears to be doing what it advertises. However, with the other filters and softeners on the market, and having a loop already, I'm not sure this is the direction I'd go if I had to pay retail price.
