Salt free systems will never work in residential applications, use an Ion exchange system if you want soft water in your home.

H2O is great as a solid, a gas and as a liquid.

I have prepared the plumbing so I can retrofit an upgraded higher volume water softener on a private well serving a Bed & Breakfast in Arnoldsville, GA ... this is after a new bladder tank and well switch have been installed by their well company. The special order softener is expected to arrive 9/24.

Yesterday's service call involved a component failure that I have never encountered, the piston rod separated from the piston after the plastic connecting the rod to the piston became brittle and cracked into pieces. The control valve is on a carbon filter that follows a chlorine retention tank, it had been in service for 10 years.

You can ignore boil water alerts if you have one of these, just be sure to change the filter once the alert is lifted.

Iron water damages everything.

After 4 years in service the amount of iron in this customers well water caused debilitating buildup inside the valve, all over the piston and rings as well as on the drain pipe exit. H2O MAN was able to clean the valve, replace the piston and rings restoring efficiency.

What salt should you use?

1️⃣ Solar Salt
Derived from seawater, solar salt undergoes a process where the water is evaporated by the sun, leaving behind salt crystals. It has a moderate solubility level, making it suitable for Athens area homes with average water hardness. While efficient, it may not be optimal for areas with very high hardness levels due to its lesser solubility compared to other salts.

2️⃣ Rock Salt
Extracted from ancient underground salt deposits, rock salt is the most natural form of salt available. However, due to its origin, it tends to contain more impurities than other salts. While it's often a more economical choice, you should be aware that the additional impurities might result in a sediment build-up in the water-softening system over time, potentially necessitating more frequent maintenance.

3️⃣ Evaporated Salt
Regarded as the purest form of salt, evaporated salt is acquired through a vaporizing process that removes all moisture and impurities. This results in a nearly 100% pure salt. Given its purity and high solubility rate, it's the most effective at addressing high water hardness levels, though it may come at a premium cost.
