LIVERMORE, Calif., April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Puronics wants you to know something. Have you heard the term salt-free water softener , and think it sounds like a great solution? The problem is most water treatment systems marketed as salt-free water softeners do not soften water. In fact, it is very difficult to soften water without salt. These water systems will help with some hard water problems, but they do not soften water. People deserve to know the facts before they spend the money to purchase and install one of these.
What is a Water Softener?
A water softener is a device, product or equipment that removes enough hardness minerals that the concentration is less than the standard unit of measurement (grains per gallon). It works by running hard water through a bed of ion exchange resin. The resin removes the hardness minerals by exchanging them for sodium or potassium ions.
