Today I will be going into the topic of salt free water conditioners, what makes these rather new type of hard water solution popular is the fact that it doesn’t need to use salt. The only problem with this is that salt free conditioners don’t actually remove hard water. The is because sodium or potassium is used in a process called ion exchange which is what actually remove the hard minerals known as calcium and magnesium. What saltless water softeners actually do is send an electrical pulse throughout the main water pipe which temporarily stabilizes the water and keeping it from forming lime scale. This effect will only last up to 2 to 3 hours so that means any water-based appliances that holds water will still be affected. Also other from keeping lime scale forming in your pipes and plumbing, you will receive no other benefits of having soft water.
If you do decide to buy a salt free water conditioner make sure to read reviews of highly rated products to make sure you’re getting a good one. Many other products on the market today are very cheaply made and simply knockoffs, it’s best to avoid these products by only looking at one’s that are rated four to five stars. I also recommend staying with the best brands on the market when it comes to water conditioners. You can see what brands are good by the average rating they have. You want to get rid of your hard water then you will need to look into buying a water softener for your home
