What is salt-free water conditioning?

A softener softens the water. A salt-free conditioner changes the minerals instead, so they're much less likely to stick to your pipes, fixtures and appliances as scale. The minerals stay in the water, so it isn't "soft" water. But if you want scale protection without adding salt, it can be a good fit. Puronics Goodspring models also filter for chlorine and chloramine.

Questions about salt-free systems

Is a salt-free system the same as a softener?

No. A softener softens the water. A salt-free conditioner leaves the minerals in the water but helps keep them from sticking as scale. If you want truly soft water, a softener is the better choice.

Will I still get spots on my dishes?

You may still see some water spots, because the minerals are still in the water. The big benefit is less scale inside your pipes, fixtures and water heater.

Does it need electricity or regular service?

Most salt-free conditioners need no electricity and no salt. The media gets replaced on a long schedule, and we can keep track of that for you.
