WE ARE OPEN Learn How Angel Water is Managing Covid-19
A salt-free water softener certainly sounds like a great deal, doesn’t it? After all, if you’re like most people, you hate lugging around heavy bags of salt!
Unfortunately, a salt-free softener leaves a lot to be desired.
At Angel Water, we believe in educating our customers to help them make smart purchases. So, read on to discover the truth about salt-free water softeners.
Many people purchase salt-free systems because they think they’re luxurious. They marvel at the softener’s shiny chrome exterior and assume it’s a complex piece of machinery.
The truth is salt-free water softeners are much less sophisticated than their salt-based counterparts. For one thing, their robust chrome shells are just thin jackets designed to make them look like they’re worth the $2,000 price.
Beneath the deceptively shiny exterior is a rather modest contraption. It consists of a distributor topped with a simple in-and-out head. Water goes in one side, flows down through the distributor, and up through filter material. The water then exits through the other side of the head.
Truly, it’s a very straightforward machine. But what can it do for you?
Most people assume a salt-free water softener will perform like its salt-based counterpart. However, water softener manufacturers make no such promise.
If you look at the fine print on any salt-free softener, you will find that it only prevents scale on the inside of your plumbing. That’s all it does.
As a result, these are the only benefits people experience from salt-free softeners:
While these are appealing benefits, they fall short of those offered by salt-based systems.
Regular water softeners provide a multitude of benefits, most of which a salt-free system cannot deliver. Here are a few examples:
Let us be perfectly clear. If you want these benefits, then you need to get a salt-based water softener. It’s the only way to get the perfectly soft water you deserve.
