I usually try to discourage people from making the leap from a typical salt water softener to a magnetic treatment system. The conversion is quite often too radical and quite a bit more than the person is willing to accept. It relative really, if you are used to hard water and convert to magnetically treated water you should notice quite an improvement in the quality of your water. It may even taste and smell better (if it was bad). But, if you come from softener water, many would consider the transformation to be a step down from what they were used to.
You can\’t expect the same results if you are using magnetics to replace chemicals and electricity. Some of the aspects of softened water are not reproduced with magnetic softeners. The salt softened water feels slick and doesn\’t leave a film or white spots. While magnetically treated water may leave a film that simply wipes away, and it doesn\’t feel slick.
So what are advantages that would make you want to make the change? I\’ve seen many homes that have the kitchen faucet bypassed from the salt water softener because it\’s not considered healthy to drink, while it\’s widely accepted that magnetically treated water is good for people, pets, plants,and the environment. Many Counties in the US are outlawing salt-based water softeners, because the salt goes is back in the groundwater.

Water Softener or Water Filter?
Water, the substance we depend on for survival; odorless, colorless and tasteless yet fundamental to the survival of all life. Water will dissolve nearly everything it comes in contact with and carries that with it. Knowing that our water supply is safe is important and knowing potential problems with the water coming into our home and how to make our water safer and better for us is equally important.
There are a number of potential problems that can occur with the water that comes into our homes; high levels of calcium, minerals and sediment, otherwise known as hard water. Hard water can be really difficult on your home’s plumbing and appliances and for many years people would turn to water softeners that use salt to lessen the harmful effects of hard water.
Unsafe water is another problem we face with our water today. Water with bacteria, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and carcinogens are in large numbers in the public and well water systems. It is common for people to install under sink water filters to provide safe and filtered drinking water. Often the best drinking water filters are installed to remove as many contaminates as possible. This takes care of just the drinking portion of the water we use every day.

Give your thanks to saltless water softener systems. They came in the market just when households needed them the most.
Hard water, which is water with a mixture of metals and minerals, has long been a problem to many homes. It is not safe to drink and to use. Unsurprisingly, it also places everyone’s life to risk. It even gives workers a headache because it obstructs pipes. It is for these reasons that a water softener came into the minds of the manufacturers.
Water softeners may have been around, but some products are not beneficial at all because they are made with salt. You see, too much salt or sodium is bad for the body. But, good thing there is a saltless water softener. As its name suggests, it softens (others take it as “it conditions”) water without using salt.
Marketing aside, a saltless water softener takes your health into consideration, as well as the environment where you live in. It does what hard water does not—it gives you a safe drink and a great opportunity to use safe water—minus the salt.

Many of you have heard of the term saltless water softener. It describes the types of water softeners that use salt to make hard water soft. Hard water refers to the type that is not safe for drinking, or for any household use. This water causes clogging in pipes, as it continues to pass via them. In addition, hard water forces you to use more soap for any cleaning task, because it does not lather easily. This explains why the market is full of water softening products. The saltless are a good example of these.
You have many advantages for choosing to use softeners that do not use salt to make water safe for drinking. Those that use salt have many demerits, including the fact that they add more sodium in water. This type of water is definitely not safe for use by some people who suffer from certain medical conditions. If you use strong hard water in your house, it means that it has high sodium concentration already.
