No Salt Water Softeners
In my book there is no such thing as a No Salt Water Softener or indeed No Salt Water Softeners.
Up until a few years ago only an ion exchange water softener such as a Harvey Water Softener or a Permutit Water Softener would attract the name water softener. During the ‘80’s the introduction of so called physical, electronic, magnetic water treatment devices such as Scale Watcher and Water King changed the market as they used to advertise them as a No Salt Water Softener or indeed No Salt Water Softeners.
The issue was taken to the Advertising Standards Agency but our industry, being led at the time by British Water, failed to prevent the Water King device claiming itself to be a No Salt Water Softener.
Most of the ion exchange water softener manufacturers in the industry disagreed with this ruling but nothing has been done about it and so there are a number of No Salt Water Softeners out there claiming to soften the water without using salt.
All that a No Salt Water Softener does it purport to change the ionic structure of the dissolved calcium in the water such that it does not form scale.
There is no British Standard for No Salt Water Softeners. Nor is there a performance standard to which any No Salt Water Softener can be tested and we as a company remove No Salt Water Softeners on an every day occurrence and replace them with a proper ion exchange water softener.
