Hard water is a very common problem in America. Many people use salt to soften their water. Unfortunately the water can end up having a slimy feeling to it. Also individuals are now becoming worried because those with high blood pressure or hypertension may not want that extra salt added to the water they drink and bathe in. Another concern is the discarded salt water can have an impact on the natural environment as it gathers in the soil. But is the most effective solution the salt free water softener and does it work?

Well to start, the salt free water softener isn't actually a softener at all. Adding salt to water and causing an ionic exchange softens the water. The salt free technique is in fact conditioning the water or is known as a descaler. It uses a resin-plated ceramic surface to convert the calcium and magnesium into a crystalline form that sticks to the ceramic surface until it is too big and breaks off into the water. It brings about a chain reaction while it flows down the water, attaching to other calcium and magnesium particles and is not able to attach to anything else, including your water pipes. These clumps of calcium or magnesium are disposed of with the flow of the water and your pH is not changed.

According to the reviews for some of the salt free water softener models by Pelican and NuvoH2O, it is really difficult to decide if they indeed work or not. The product reviews are very mixed. Normally 1 star or 5 stars, nothing in between. And I can't verify who's creating the reviews, it's possible they can be written by the companies to market their equipment.

But all I can say is the fact that a salt free water softener is a considerable purchase, as much as $2000 to get a complete set up, and it is important to have your water tested. A salt free water softener is not recommended for hardness levels above 75 grains per gallon. A copper level at .5 ppm or more is going to void a Pelican warranty. A NuvoH2O warranty is only 90 days. The popular NaturSoft system by Pelican offers a 10 year warranty and a 90 day satisfaction guarantee.

If you have all your information going in and know what you're dealing with warranty wise, it will be easier to get your money back if it doesn't do everything it promises to.
