Salt free softening water system alternative with minimum maintenance
What are the advantages of using a salt free softening water system (actually a conditioner) such as the Healthy Home Solution system?
Newer technologies have been discovered that replace the technologies used in traditional water softeners. These newer technologies take care of all the same problems the older softeners took care of but without the need for salt or potassium chloride. {Note: Many communities across the country are making traditional water softeners illegal because of the dangers they pose to the environment. It is probably not wise at this point to invest in such a system since they may soon be outlawed everywhere. See this recent article from the LA Times.} LA Times – Culligan Lobbies And check out this article on the damaging affects of old fashioned water softeners.
All water filtration systems Pure Elements offers are salt and chemical free. They are better for the environment and better for you. There is almost no maintenance required. There is no slippery or slimy feeling to the water as you get with traditional water softeners. And you don’t have to go out and buy bags of salt and then go to the garage and lift 50 pound bags into the filter. All this hassle has been eliminated with the use of our system.
Note: Our systems are technically water conditioners and not water softeners. However, most people don’t know about water conditioning so they don’t think to look it up for information.
In water conditioning the hard water is treated and calcium left in the water. Better for you and no slippery feel. This is good. In traditional water softening the calcium is removed and the water gets salt and chemicals added to it in order to “soften” and remove the hard water. The salt and chemicals stay in the water you consume. The water has a slippery feel. This is bad.
