"Salt-Free Water Softener" / Salt-Free Water Conditioner
A traditional (Ion Exchange with Salt) Water Softener effectively removes >99% of hardness from your water supply and periodically regenerates the softening media consuming both water and salt, and also adds some salt to the water. These units are the most effective at reducing hardness spotting and scale buildup on external surfaces such as glass and tile, while also effectively protecting your plumbing and appliances from internal scale buildup.
A Salt-Free Water Softener / Water Conditioner leaves the calcium hardness in the water but forms it into tiny little calcium crystals that remain suspended in the water and do not create a "hard plate" onto everything it touches.
In your water pipes, appliances, and water heater these tiny crystals are carried through the pipes by moving water. They no longer want to attach to surfaces.
On a surface left to dry, such as a shower door, instead of plating the surface with a hard scale which is very difficult to remove, the crystals will dry to a white powder which is easily brushed away with a damp cloth.
There is also some benefit for a Reverse Osmosis unit as well. In a Reverse Osmosis unit the calcium crystals are more inclined to rinse out with the waste water rather than clog and plate the membrane with calcium.
- Maximum Allowable Water Hardness is 24 Grains (410 ppm)
- Not for use with water that contains: Iron, Manganese, Copper, or Hydrogen Sulfide, as this will permanently bind to the media and greatly reduce it's effectiveness.

- Eliminates the "slippery" feel of softened water
- Prevents scale buildup in water heaters, dishwashers, ice machines, and pipes. This is the primary benefit.
- Transforms dissolved calcium hardness (ionic calcium) into tiny calcium crystals (crystalline calcium) that are so small they are easily rinsed away by water flow - instead of plating onto surfaces and pipes.
- Dried calcium crystals on glass shower doors wipes off easily with a soft cloth instead of "plating" onto glass surfaces. Saves work when cleaning.
- Works with Reverse Osmosis systems also!
- Works to eliminate EXISTING scale in pipes and in appliances. See Photo of a water heater heating element below.
- ScaleNet Media lasts about 3-5 years (depending on water quality and usage habits) before needing to be replaced.
- The tank features the advanced Vortech Distribution Plate at the bottom to eliminate the gravel bed and give much better flow and distribution.
Choose your model according to the SERVICE FLOW Column on the chart above.
NOTE: The Commercial Models are more for continuous duty applications and contain more media. The Residential Models are for household use - intermittent duty.
-
Do NOT undersize your unit. Oversize your unit for best performance.
- Maximum Allowable Water Hardness is 24 Grains (410 ppm)
- Not for use with water that contains: Iron, Manganese, Copper, or Hydrogen Sulfide, as this will bind to the media. (Nobody wants to tell you this.)
- Add a carbon pre-filter if Chlorine is higher than 3 ppm. A carbon pre-filter is recommended if you have chlorinated water. Filter Housings are here.
- Service Flow Calculator (in GPM): Shower/Bathtub = 5 , Bathtub = 5, Toilet = 4, Kitchen Sink = 3, Laundry Tub = 7, Dishwasher = 2, Clothes Washer = 5, Garden Hose = 6
- Add at least 3 or 4 of these together to determine your Service Flow.
- Do NOT undersize your unit.
