Salt Free Conditioners

Hard water is a common issue for homeowners, and sometimes gets overlooked . You may see hard water residue or spots on dishes and glassware, soap scum buildup in your shower, or, yellowed, dingy whites coming out of the wash.

In some instances, certain contaminants in water may lead to health issues. Most of the time, hard water does not pose a threat to health. But it can make things like eczema and acne worse. Hard water mineral buildup can lead to coarse hair, hair breakage and even hair loss.

Bottled water is naturally soft… but has a unique pollutant that you won’t find in tap water: microplastics, which have been identified as a possible health hazard.

Hard water is caused by minerals in your water, specifically calcium and magnesium. A water softener uses ion exchange, which means hard water passes through a tank filled with resin beads, which are charged with sodium and potassium ions. The beads attract and bind to the calcium and magnesium ions, delivering softer water to every tap in your home.

If you’re experiencing the harsh effects of hard water like dry skin and hair, limescale buildup around faucets and shower heads, or wear and tear on your water-based appliances, a water softener will benefit your home.

While the immediate impact of soft water will be improved water quality, you will also notice that soft water cuts down on several costs: less soap for dishwashing and laundry, lower electric or gas bills when heating soft water—hard water leads to heat loss—more protection for household water-using appliances. With soft water minimizing scale buildup, everything from your water heater to your coffee maker will work more efficiently for a longer time.

Aside from the benefits of having higher quality, better-tasting water, you will also see that soft water provides reductions in household costs. Softer water improves the lifespan of your household water-using appliances, reducing unexpected repair and replacement costs and saving you money in the long-term. More immediately, with soft water, you can use less soap for dishwashing and laundry, spend less time cleaning your sinks and showers, and you will enjoy lower electric or gas bills as hard water loses more heat than soft water.

We offer both salt and salt-free solutions. If a salt softener is the correct solution for your home, several factors such as water quality, hardness level, and water consumption will determine salt usage. Fortunately, our systems have an easy-to-use LCD screen that will notify you when it is time to add salt. Plus, our systems are highly efficient, using less salt than many other national brands.

Common types of salt used in water softeners include rock salt, solar salt, and evaporated salt pellets. Each type has different purity levels and solubility rates. It’s best to use high-purity salt specifically designed for water softeners to prevent buildup and maintain efficiency.
