According to the US Geological Survey, 85% of the United States has what’s called “hard water”, this means the water has an excessive amount of hard minerals, most excessive in well water. "Softening" the water takes out these hard minerals and other impurities leaving you with pure H2O.
When calcium is heated, it can create calcium deposits causing havoc in appliances, skin, hair, etc...
These "hard" minerals are not harmful to drink, however they cause problems with your skin, hair, household appliances, pipes, clothes, and not to mention scum all over everything. The Hydrotech™ salt-based water system removes these pesky hard minerals including all other unwanted pest such as bacteria and heavy iron. You may have heard about “Salt-free” water softeners, but in reality they don’t exist. True softwater is defined as less than one grain per gallon (gpg) of minerals in your water. The so called“salt-free” softeners cannot do this.
