Easily one of the most advanced water softeners on the market, this is a great pick for anyone with sensitive skin or allergies, due to the fact that it doesn’t use salt or chemicals. Instead, this water softener uses a process called Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) to condition the water.
As mentioned earlier, the salt-free method crystallizes the minerals in your water rather than trapping them or exchanging them for salt. This type of softener is sometimes called a water conditioner because the process actually neutralizes the water, versus “softening” it. The result? A cleaner, purer water quality that won’t stick to your dishes or hands.
One note for salt-free water softeners: If your home runs on well water, your water is probably exceptionally hard. In this case, a salt-free water softener is not recommended unless your water is pre-treated (meaning it has already gone through a treatment process to filter out iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, copper, etc.
This softener ships in two business days and comes with an instruction manual for DIY installation, which reviewers say is very easy. This softener is not NSF-certified.
