How it Works and Common Questions
Common Customer Questions
Q: What's the difference between a water softener and an anti-scale system?
A: Softeners remove hard water minerals completely. Anti-scale systems keep the minerals but change their form to reduce scale buildup—no salt or discharge required.
How does it work?
Advanced technology transforms hardness minerals into non-stick crystal form. These crystals flow freely through your plumbing, helping prevent scale build-up. No salt or water discharge.
Q: Who is it best for?
A: Households looking for low-maintenance scale protection without salt. It's also recommended for homes with a low or medium amount of water hardness.
Q: Why is scale harmful?
A: As scale builds up over time, it can reduce the efficiency and lifespan of water-using appliances like water heaters and dishwashers. It may also clog pipes and restrict water flow, leading to increased energy costs and potential damage over time.
