Saltless water softeners are used to improve the quality of water by minimizing the hardness of minerals like calcium and magnesium. At Palm Beach Water Purification, we offer salt-free, whole house water filtration systems to soften your home’s drinking water. Here are some of the ways saltless water softeners impact residential plumbing systems and appliances:
Scale Reduction
Whole house water filtration systems are used to treat or remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium from residential water sources. These minerals build up in plumbing pipes and appliance water lines over time, creating scale deposits. Scale in water lines reduces water pressure, minimizes appliance efficiency, and leaves residue on clothes and dishes. A saltless water softener reduces the hardness of these minerals to make scale buildup easier to remove. Saltless water purifiers use a crystallization process to transform the structure of hard minerals in municipal water. This results in minerals that are less likely to stick to pipes and other surfaces. Installing a saltless purifier may result in better cleaning results and fewer hard water spots and deposits on dishes, shower heads, and other items. Homeowners with salt-free softeners may also spend less time and money on cleaning solutions and supplies.
Minimal Maintenance
Saltless water softeners act as preventative solutions for plumbing issues and appliance breakdowns. Appliances and plumbing lines with minimal scale deposits function more effectively. Reducing the hardness of calcium and magnesium allows water to move through pipes without resistance, reducing strain on appliances like water heaters, dishwashers, and clothes washers. Plumbing professionals should remove the buildup when servicing pipes or appliances. Less scale helps extend the lifespan of your home’s plumbing and appliances, allowing them to work for longer with fewer replacements or repair services. This makes your home more energy efficient and helps you save money on maintenance over time.
A salt-free softener requires minimal upkeep to maintain its effectiveness. Homeowners should check and replace the filters occasionally and replace the filtration media every few years. Some models can be cleaned every few months with water softener cleaning solutions to remove buildup. Homeowners can contact Palm Beach Water Purification for extra tips on cleaning and maintaining their salt-free systems.
Who Needs a Saltless Water Softener?
Individuals and families who want cleaner dishes, clothes, and appliances should explore saltless water softeners. Those who need to reduce their salt intake for medical reasons can also benefit from a saltless softener. Salt-free water softeners are ideal for homeowners living in brine-restricted areas. Cities in drought-prone areas may restrict home and business owners from flushing salt into local water systems due to its drying impact on the ecosystem.
