The type of water softener you have in your home can give you some really great benefits. Most people, however, aren’t aware of the many benefits that a salt-free water softener can provide. When we think “water softener”, we simply think of a system which removes our hard minerals like magnesium and calcium in exchange for sodium ions. With a properly operating system, we no longer have to deal with water spots, stains or clogs.
However, there are more options to consider and going salt-free could be at the top of your list. Which type of water softener is better? Well, there’s no cut and dry answer – it all depends on your household’s needs.
Salt-based water softener facts
This type of system removes the hard minerals from your water, leaving you with that softened water that you desperately want and need. Through an ion-exchange process, those minerals are replaced with sodium ions. Effective for water with a high hardness level, these systems require the use of salt (pellets) and regeneration intervals, or a recharge of the whole process and system. This could alter the taste of your water. Or, for those who should be on a low-sodium diet, this may be a concern because this process adds salt.
