Does A Salt Free Water Softener Really Work To Soften Water In Your Home?


Hard water is a very common problem in America. A lot of people use salt to soften their own water. Unfortunately the water can end up having a slimy feel to it. Also people are now getting concerned because people that have high blood pressure or hypertension may not want extra salt put into the water they drink and bathe in. Another concern is the discarded salt water has an impact on the environment while it collects in the soil. But is the most effective solution a salt free water softener and does it get the job done?

Well to start, the salt free water softener isn't really a softener at all. Adding salt to the water and inducing an ionic exchange softens the water. The salt free method is in fact conditioning the water or is typically known as a descaler. This method uses a resin-plated ceramic surface to change the calcium and magnesium into a crystalline form that sticks to the ceramic surface until finally it is too large and breaks off into the water. This causes a chain reaction while it flows down the water, sticking to other calcium and magnesium particles and it is not able to attach to anything else, which include your water pipes. These clumps of calcium or magnesium are discarded with the flow of the water and the pH is not affected.

According to the reviews for a couple of the salt free water softener models by Pelican and NuvoH2O, it really is difficult to determine if they work or not. The reviews are really mixed. Either 1 star or 5 stars, little in between. And I am unable to confirm who's creating the reviews, it's possible they are written by the companies to promote their own products.

But all I can say is the fact that a salt free water softener is a substantial investment, as high as $2000 to get a full set up, and also it's imperative that you get your water tested. A salt free water softener is not recommended for hardness levels over 75 grains per gallon. A copper level at .5 ppm or higher is going to void a Pelican warranty. A NuvoH2O warranty is just 90 days. The popular NaturSoft system by Pelican has a 10 year warranty plus a 90 day satisfaction guarantee.

If you have all of your information going in and know what you are working with warranty wise, it will be easier to get your money back if it does not deliver everything it promises to.
