Prevent scale without salt, and filter out chlorine at the same time. Two tanks, one clean install: a salt-free conditioner and a coconut shell carbon filter.
Some homes cannot or do not want a salt-based softener: homes without a drain line, salt-restricted areas, or owners who just prefer no salt. This system pairs a salt-free scale conditioner with a carbon tank, so you still get chlorine taste and odor filtration at every tap.
The conditioner changes how hardness minerals behave, so they are much less likely to build up on pipes, fixtures, and your water heater.
No brine, no regeneration cycle, no drain line, and no electrical connection for the conditioner tank.
Hardness minerals are not removed, so there is no added sodium and the water keeps its natural mineral content.
The second tank reduces chlorine, chloramine, chemicals, and odors for fresh-tasting water throughout your home.
No salt to buy or carry, and long-lasting media with no complicated parts.
Plus coverage on the valve, and a labor warranty on the install.
Two tanks, two jobs.
Treats water so hardness minerals are far less likely to form scale. It needs no salt, no drain, and no regeneration.
Granular activated coconut shell carbon over polishing gravel reduces chlorine, chloramine, and taste and odor.
A salt-free conditioner prevents scale; it does not remove hardness. A hardness test will read the same before and after, and the water will not feel slick like softened water. You may still see some spotting on glass. If you want truly soft water, choose our softener and filtration system. If you want low maintenance, no salt, and scale protection, this is the right system.
