    Default "No Salt water softeners?"

    Anyone know how/if these work? It cosists of a control bax that is hooked up to the electric and a section of pipe in your water line.
    I went to there web site but it had no actual softness numbers and no explanation of how it worked. Thanks; Don T.

    Don you should look for week acid resins which are recharged with 3-5 % HCl. H ions or protons exchange with ca and mg ions on the activation sites, so there is no cl ions. Should have it in water purifier comšpanies or such.

    Yes; I searched a little and some water experts consider them "snake oil".
    I do not need one but I was curious how/if they work. Don T.
