There are lots of advertisements on the internet now about water softeners that do not use salt. Some use a just a resin tank, a magnet, or an electrical device that is connected to your plumbing. Our take is that none of their claims have been certified by a reputable organization that they work. The theory is that their systems isolate the hardness in the water so that it does not scale. Soft water means that the hardness is removed from the water and these systems do not do that so they cannot be called a water softener. Hellenbrand has tested these systems rigorously in their lab and none of them have proven to work at all. Bottom line, it they did work we would be selling them.
