Go on the Internet and you can find just about anything about everything.  Alien abductions, cures for cancer,  herbs that make you live forever, how to not pay taxes (good luck with that one), and salt-free water softeners.  Sorry folks, but that is all fiction.  Well, maybe there have been some alien abductions… I’ve seen their spaceship, they are not taking me back�...

I have repeatedly written that the companies selling "Salt-Free Water Softeners" are flat-out not telling the consumers the truth and in fact, are trying to trick consumers into buying their products. The fact is: these salt free softeners do not "soften" the water. This has been a real issue for a long-time. How many people buy systems because they think they are getting soft water is up ...

There are several companies on the internet selling what they say are "Salt-Free Water Softeners." I get calls and e-mails everyday from people who have been duped into buying these systems. When I say "duped" I mean that these people bought what they thought to be and were told was a "salt-free water softener" and it, in fact, did not soften the water. One customer who bought a salt-free s...

Q.  [Can you compare] prices for a whole home carbon filter and water softer and the specs? We are about to buy the AquaSauna 1,000,000 gal carbon filter and their saltless softer but I want to compare it to others and their prices too. Thanks -- Deanna A.  It's impossible for me to compare our systems to Aquasana salt-free water softeners and their carbon filters for a few reasons: We d...

Recently, a prospective customer walked into our US WATER SYSTEMS World Headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana and said that they had some horrible water problems that they were not able to solve. They proceeded to explain that about six months earlier they had installed the Aquasana Rhino Well Water System and that it seemed to work well for a few months, but then the water comning out of it was w...

Chemical contamination or water pollution is something nearly every individual is aware of unless they have been living under a rock. Two chemical contaminants that have been in the news recently have been discovered in an area of Southeastern North Carolina around Cape Fear, Wilmington and surrounding areas.  These are what we call  “emerging contaminants” because they are currently unregul...

That may seem like an odd question, but it is one that you really have to consider.  There are several water treatment companies that have popped up across the internet the past few years.  These companies were started by slick marketing and business people who have taken an idea and parlayed it into big business.  Most of this centers around "salt-free water softeners" which are close cousins ...

Anyone who has hard water knows about "Limescale" in pipes and appliances, but did you know that limescale rarely forms in the cold water plumbing?  Ask any plumber - they can tell you that limescale is prevalent in hot water lines, hot water heaters and the hot water side of appliances and plumbing fixtures.  Why is that?  It's very simple - when hard water is heated, the hardness precipitat...

For over a decade, marketing companies have been selling customers on the idea of salt-free water softeners. It’s unfortunate that salt-free water softeners don’t really exist. The Encyclopaedia Britannica defines soft water as “ water that is free from dissolved salts of such metals as calcium, iron, or magnesium, which form insoluble deposits such as appear as scale in boilers ...
