If you are buying any water treatment equipment, make sure you are buying it from a member of the Water Quality Association (WQA) as they are bound by a Code of Ethics.  Don't settle for anything less...

A couple of months removed from the WQA's Epic Announcement that WQA Members (Water Quality Association) who use false and deceptive terms, like "Salt-Free Water Softener" will have their memberships revoked effective January 1, 2020, I thought I would look at the status of what WQA Members who have used this deceptive term (Salt-Free Water Softener) have done: Aquasana - Now owned by A.O.Smit...

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...

QUESTION: Hello, We have well water that was tested 4 days ago; No iron, ph 7.1, hardness GPG 29. We tested a second sample that was treated through a whole house system from Aquasana. The treated water tested 21 GPG hardness. We are miserable with this product. My hair is damaged, skin is dry, fixtures are coated. There is sandy grit in the water and we have 3 sediment filters hooked up. Two fr...

QUESTION: I have been researching systems till I am ready to slit my throat. So many inconsistencies on the web. I live in Temecula, CA.  Our water is 184 mg per liter / 10.7 per gallon. The water flow in our house (10 years old) is terrible. I am ready to replace the hot water heater and all of the shower valves. Before I do I know I need a system. We have a 5 bed/5 bath house but only 3 peo...

Actually, before you ask that question, you really should ask "Is there really such a thing as a salt free water softener?" You see, some companies are selling what they call "salt free water softeners" as well as "salt water softeners."  That begs the question:  If salt free water softeners worked, why on God's Green Earth would they sell salt water softeners?  No one would buy them. Salt wat...

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 ...
