How to Use

The optimal use of Oscar requires few and very simple steps:

1. Remove Oscar from its transparent and protecting wrapper;
2. Once the plastic has been removed, wet with cold water to activate the silvered granules;
3. Lay down Oscar into the empty water tank. Fill with water up to the desired level.

As water interacts with the resin microspheres it will be subjected to the osmotic and magnetic softening process, starting to transfer calcium and magnesium ions giving back sodium ones.
