Do No-Salt Systems Work?

โ€œI saw an ad for something called EasyWater โ€ฆโ€

One of the most widely advertised โ€œNO-SALTโ€ water treatment devices is called EasyWater. You may have seen it advertised on shows like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity or Fox News. Or the latest one is called Hyrdocare. But itโ€™s the same storyโ€ฆ

The question folks ask is โ€œDoes it work?โ€ The short answer is NO.

Laboratory tests at the Penn State University have confirmed what many water professionals have suggested:ย โ€œNo discernible change in water hardness scaling.โ€

Water Test

These โ€œNo Saltโ€ gadgets are being hustled on TV, online and through plumbing companies.

The implied and often stated message is that you can get the benefits of SOFT WATER without an ion exchange water softener.

This is simply not true.

There arenโ€™t any effective, low cost โ€œsalt freeโ€ alternatives for water softening.

  • Soft water reduces soap use by up to 75%โ€ฆ there is NO reduction in soap use with these no salt devices.
  • Soft water effectively and measurably reduces scale build up in hot water heatersโ€ฆ actual field tests indicate that there is virtually no difference between water run through an EasyWater device and RAW WATER!
  • Soft water dramatically reduces water spots on glassware and shower doorsย โ€ฆ you can see the results. No change with Easy Water and other no salt alternatives.
  • Soft water leaves hair silky and skin softโ€ฆ EasyWater simply leaves a hole in your wallet.
If you want the benefits of SOFT WATER there is only one reliable option โ€ฆ a water softener. We can make it EASY for you to get SOFT WATER โ€ฆ with a Culligan Water Softener. Culligan is the #1 recognized brand for water softeners and has been for over 75 years.

My name is Bo Cooksey and Iโ€™m your local Culligan Man. The one thing I always tell people is that Culligan has been an innovator in water treatment since 1937.

Our water engineers have tested over 50 different No-Salt devices to determine what works and what doesnโ€™t.

After all, if thereโ€™s a better solution for soft water than our current ion-exchange softener, you better believe weโ€™re going to offer it to you. Unfortunately, there isnโ€™t.ย Our engineers couldnโ€™t find a single product that produced results worthy of the Culligan name and โ€œHey Culligan Manโ€ service.

ย Frequently Asked Questions About No-Salt Systems

So if magnetic, no-salt, saltless and salt-free conditioners donโ€™t truly give me the benefits of soft water, what are my options?

Your options are pretty simpleโ€ฆ For soft water, you NEED an ion exchange water softener. Itโ€™s the only thing that is scientifically proven to:

The Culligan Promise
  • Reduce Scale Build-up and so protect all of your plumbing, fixtures, and appliances.
  • Cut soap, detergent and shampoo usage by up to 75% (that savings alone can generally more than pay for your softener)
  • Cut hot water heating expenses by almost 30% (according to the University of New Mexico).
  • Prevent soap-scum from building up on your shower doors.
  • Eliminate hard water spots on your glasses and dishes.
But Iโ€™m on a low-sodium diet, I canโ€™t have salt in my water.

Thatโ€™s fine as you have a few options:

  • Utilize aย Culligan Drinking Water Systemย to remove the sodium and other impurities from your drinking water.
  • Use Potassium Chloride in your water softener instead of Sodium Chloride
Also, keep in mind that the additional salt in your water is almost negligible. In the Steel Valley we have around 15-18 grains of hardness on city water supplies (which is a combination of calcium and magnesium). When we exchange that for salt (sodium) you get about 28-35 mg of salt for each 8oz glass of water.

To put that into perspective,ย 1 tablespoon of ketchup has about 167 mg of salt.

I canโ€™t lift those big, heavy bags of salt!

Thatโ€™s no problem. Just say, โ€œHey Culligan Man!โ€ and weโ€™ll take care of it for you. Weโ€™ll bring salt right to your front door or even dump it into your softener. Whichever you prefer.
