Water Softeners vs. Salt-Free Water Softener Alternatives
The term "water softener" is used to describe a group of products that can help, you guessed it, soften hard water. As blatantly basic as that sounds, it’s actually really important to understand and appreciate. Because hard water – that is, water with a measurably high mineral content – often causes scaling and appliance damage. Soft water systems deal with hard water in various ways, from exchanging mineral ions with sodium ions to creating a softer feel and preventing scale buildup while retaining healthful minerals.
Pentair Water Solutions offers two types of VIP water treatment systems for hard water: Water Softeners and Salt-Free Water Softener Alternatives. Let’s compare...
Advantages of Water Softeners
- Large tank capacity
- Mineral ions removed from home water, which reduce scale and hard water build up throughout the home
- Easy-to-program metered electronic head
- Potassium chloride can be substituted for salt
- Premium bypass valve included for easy maintenance
- Treated water regeneration for optimal performance and cleaning
- High capacity resin with a carbon pre-filter
- Minimal backwashing wastes less water
Advantages of Salt-Free Water Softener Alternatives
- Reduces hard water etching
- Affordable conditioner refills
- Leaves in beneficial minerals
- No slippery feeling from water
- Gentle on skin and easy to maintain
