The Truth About “No-Salt” Water Gadgets
Recently there has been a lot of buzz about about “No-Salt” water gadgets and “Salt- Free” water devices advertised on TV and promoted by plumbing companies. The implied (and often stated) message is that you can get the benefits of SOFT WATER without a water softener. This is simply not true – there aren’t any effective “Salt-Free” alternatives for water softening.
Laboratory tests by third parties (like the Army Corp of Engineers) indicate that these alternative “No-Salt” gadgets do not “soften” the water. The claims that these devices effectively eliminate scale have also been de-bunked in laboratory tests.
