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...

Does the NuvoH2O salt free water softener really soften the water?  The short answer is really no, it does not.

We live in a world where information is readily available on nearly every subject.  Water quality is no different.  More and more consumers are becoming aware of troubling contaminants and problems in their water supplies.  Flint, Michigan is but the tip of the iceberg.  There are likely 2,000+ cities with similar problems due to aging infrastructure and poor maintenance practices, as well as ...

Recently, we had a customer who bought what he thought was a "salt-free water softener" and in fact, his invoice also said that it was a "salt-free water softener." The problem was that it did not soften his water, so he called the company who sold it and they said "Well, it doesn't ACTUALLY "Soften" the water!" So, it's called a water softener, but it doesn't actually soften the water? Would y...

That's a fair question because if you go to most websites you cannot really discover who you are dealing with.  I mean, when you buy from Amazon, you know that they are this behemoth and Jeff Bezos is the CEO and you can read books and articles about Amazon and Jeff to understand who you are dealing with... in case you are from another planet.  But when you buy a water softener or reverse osmosi...

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...

UNDERSTANDING MY WATER TEST RESULTS Q. My wife and I are struggling to understand our recent water test and determine what water treatment we need if any. I'm wondering if you can help us? We are considering the limeblaster. We are in northern Minnesota and have well water. We have a white chalky film in our shower. We have rust stains in our toilet. Since we have had soft water in the past...

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 backâ...

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...

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...

We get literally dozens of these cases some days: Customer: Hi. I purchased a water softener on Amazon along with professional installations. The unit is not cycling. I’ve been trying for a few weeks to reach someone on the Amazon site but no one is replying.  I’ve since had the installer come back out and check to ensure it’s been installed correctly, which was verified.  I think the pr...
