Whole House Salt-Free Water Softener

Salt-Free Softener Technology 

The principle behind the EnviroSoft Technology is relatively simple: it changes scaling calcium into non-scaling calcium. Water becomes hard or “scaling” when the calcium and carbonic acid are out of balance. EnviroSoft Media helps return hard water chemistry from this state of imbalance towards proper balance – just like in soft water. As nature intended.

In other words, minerals are neutralized so they don’t stick to surfaces, not removed from your water using harmful chemicals.

The EnviroSoft Media is made up of inert NSF-certified polymer beads that work in a fluidized bed - meaning the beads move around and bump into each other. The surface of each inert bead looks like a mini-template of organized holes, technically referred to as “nucleation sites”. These sites act as a catalyst to change scaling calcium into nano-sized crystal structures that are able to absorb minerals readily, yet stable enough to not attach themselves to the surfaces of your plumbing or appliances. The calcium crystals eventually release from the templates into the water stream making EnviroSoft self-regenerating – meaning you never have to replace the media.

Nothing is added to the water. Back in the water stream, the calcium crystals become templates (or “seed” crystals) themselves, and can perform the same function just like the media. This is especially important with hot-water appliances like your coffee maker or hot water heater because heating water increases its scale potential. However, the seed crystals are able to absorb the calcium that would otherwise form scale.
