When searching for hard water solutions, new technology now offers better choices.
Lets discuss hard water solutions.Before you can properly treat your water hardness, you first need to know what it is. Hardness is tested for GPG (Grains per Gallon) along with TDS, (Total Dissolved Solids)
You can have you water tested by a local health department, or by a laboratory, this will normally cost around $80.00.
They normally are not a health hazard, but left untreated could cause staining, and damage to your appliances, plumbing, dishes, and clothing.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should be looking for hard water solutions.
Even though I have sold and installed water softeners for many years, I have never been really happy about how most of them operate, i.e. pouring salt down the drain, in your yard, sewer, or wherever you have to. The typical water softener will waste around fifty-five gallons of water every time it regenerates, not to mention the salt it uses.
Several cities have created new ordinances banning typical softeners because of the salt brine pollution they create and this has even created new income sources for the big guys like Culligan, allowing them to offer replacement resin tanks, and home tank delivery.
Why are These city's Banning Water Softeners?
When looking for hard water solutions, research conditioners that require no salt, (and what about not having to drag bags around anymore) stop wasting water, and retain the nutrients in your water that are good for you, instead of drinking salt water) and were not talking about magnets that clamp on your pipes here ;-) This is not magic…It simply uses a cathode and an anode to “Neutralize” the calcium in your water and this keeps it from attaching itself to things in your home.
The net effect is water that has not been treated with sodium chloride, and you will like the taste much more because the natural minerals in water are where the taste comes from! This technology is really the trend when dealing with hard water solutions.
Why would anyone needing to treat the hardness in their water want to soften the old fashioned way, wasting salt and water not to mention space, when you could install an appliance on the wall that’s 24” long and 6” in diameter, does not require salt, waste any water, or use chemicals?
