RD Allen: A big question today is how does an environmentally sound salt-free water conditioning and filtration system benefit the environment?

The first answer is simple – a whole house water treatment system will reduce the reliance on plastics and plastic bottles. The second answer is to eliminate the need for traditional and old fashioned residential water softeners that introduce sodium chloride into the eco-system. Traditional water softeners are being banned in many communities in California and across the United States because of the dramatic negative effect they are having on the environment.
