That's the question you need to ask if you are considering the purchase of a "salt-free water softener." Don't beat around the bush, pick up the phone and call whatever company is saying that they sell a salt-free water softener and just ask them: "But does it really soften the water?" If they say yes, then I will call them and buy it for you.  I'll pay for it! It's on me!  I guess you mus...

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.  I have iron bacteria and my well company gave me a backwashing carbon and some other white media that goes on the bottom is that going to eliminate my problem? A.  Based upon what you have told me, I would say there are two chances:  Slim and None!  Before you do anything, do this first: https://www.uswatersystems.com/us-water-lab-water-test.html  ________________________________...

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...

A reader recently asked: "Have you guys ever tested how much salt is actually put into the water supply with a salt-based water softener? How do salt-free conditioners prevent calcium and other minerals from coming out of solution? Does this prevent the body from absorbing such minerals? There are so many videos out there that say one thing or the other, but they're all sales pitches which ...

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 ...

Most tankless water heater manufacturers have a disclaimer in their warranty. One major tankless water heater manufacturer says this: "Warranty shall be void in the event of an occurrence of any of the following:.... Any damage caused by local adverse conditions including but not limited to hard water deposits, lime or mineral build-up..." [caption id="attachment_5856" align="alignright" width...

For the record, if you Google “Salt-Free Water Softeners” you will find quite a few companies who say they have them.  Therein lies the deception because they don’t.  Aquasana, Futura, Lifesource, NuvoH2O, Pelican and several others say that they have a salt-free water softener.  The only problem is that they don’t!  Salt free water softeners are fiction.  It is simply not true.  It�...

The simple and easy answer is NO, because in actuality, what many companies call "Salt-Free Water Conditioners" simply do not soften the water. By definition, a water softener is any device that reduces the hardness to below one (1) grain per gallon (gpg).  If it doesn't do that, it's not a water softener.  We have tested the following systems as to whether they are "water softeners" or not and...

For about the last ten years salt-free water softeners have become the dream of many marketing companies.   It’s not like they haven’t always been out there – I’ve been in the water treatment business for 42 years and I have seen plenty of these types of companies come and go – but they are now here en mass. I have often wondered why it seems that there are so many of these companie...

I keep telling you NO, salt-free water softeners do not soften water and do not exist, but some people don't want to believe me. At any rate, I am going to keep telling you and today, I will let you prove it to yourself.  Maybe the truth hurts... Anyway, here are but a few companies (with their links) who purport to sell you Water Softeners that Don't Use Salt: Aquasana SimplySoft Salt-Free W...
