Whole House Equipment & Benefits

In the salt based process (true water softening), hardness minerals are actually removed from the water. In the salt-free process minerals are retained in the water, but their form is changed so they will not adhere to surfaces. “Salt free” water softeners are actually not softeners, they are “water conditioners”.

The term “water softener” describes a system that uses a process of ionic exchange to pull hard water minerals (calcium, magnesium) out of the water and replace them with sodium ions, meaning your water supply is now completely free of minerals that cause hard water.

The terms “salt-free water softener” describe a different type of system. A “salt-free water softener” does not remove minerals from the water completely. Rather, it changes the chemical structure of the water to stop minerals from forming scale along your pipes and fixtures. It is not a true water softener because minerals, specifically calcium and magnesium, are left in the water.

Therefore, the use of the term ‘Salt-Free Softener’ instead of ‘Conditioner’ is an attempt to deceive or at the very least, confuse you.

When water contains a significant amount of calcium and magnesium, it is called hard water. Hard water is known to clog pipes and to complicate soap and detergent dissolving in water.

Water softening is a technique that serves the removal of the ions that cause the water to be hard, in most cases calcium and magnesium ions. The best way to soften water is to use a water softener unit and connect it directly to the water supply.

• Cost savings from reduction in Soaps, lotions and cleaning supplies along with more efficient running appliances
• Eliminates Water Spots on Glasses, dishes and silverware
• Eliminates water spots on shower doors, mirrors and tiles
• Cleaning is easier greatly reducing housework by eliminating the formation of soap curd this results in saving time and money

• Soaps and shampoo’s lather much better
• Eliminates scale build up on Faucets, Fixtures, Toilets and Sinks
• Water flow through your faucets and fixtures is not clogged and more consistent
• Protects internal pipes and plumbing from hard water scale build up which can reduce flow rates over time
• Protects and extends the life of all water using appliances from scale build up (Dishwasher, Washing Machine, Coffee Machine, Ice makers, humidifier)
• Improves efficiency of Water Heater by reducing hard water build up on the heating element
• Protects the warranty on Tankless Water heaters
• Softer, shiny and more manageable hair
• Helps reduce dry and itchy skin issues and can help with eczema

A bottleless water cooler is a machine that dispenses water without a bottle. Traditional coolers have a bottle on top that holds the liquid. A water dispenser without a bottle takes water directly from the waterline. This plumbed-in system offers a number of advantages over classic bottled coolers.
