What is a Salt-Free Water Conditioner ?

A Salt-Free Water Conditioner is a system developed to address the problems associated with hard water without resorting to the use of salt or chemicals, common in conventional water softening methods. Rather than extracting minerals like calcium and magnesium from the water via ion exchange, these conditioners render the minerals neutral. This means that while the minerals are still present in the water, they are modified in such a way that they no longer form scale deposits on pipes, fixtures, and water-using appliances.

Types of Salt-Free Water Conditioner

1. SAAS ion polarization, like BriskSpring Hard Water Conditioner

2. Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC)

Overview

TAC technology is based on a method that converts dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium in water into non-adhesive, tiny crystal forms. These microscopic crystals are unable to stick to surfaces like pipes, appliances, and fixtures, effectively preventing the formation of scale.

Principle of Operation

At the heart of TAC technology is a specially designed treatment media that features catalytic sites. These sites promote the nucleation process, which leads to the formation of small calcium carbonate crystals from the minerals dissolved in the water. As water passes through a TAC device, it triggers the formation and growth of these crystals to a size that allows them to be easily flushed away with the water flow, thus stopping them from clinging to surfaces. This mechanism is purely physical, meaning it does not change the water's chemical composition, thereby retaining its healthful minerals and negating the adverse effects associated with scale.

3. Electromagnetic descaler , like TURBO Hard Water Conditioner

Overview
Utilizing electromagnetic fields to alter the crystalline structure of mineral ions in hard water, these systems prevent the formation of scale without the need for chemicals, salt, or alterations to the water's mineral composition.

Principle of Operation
The core functionality of electromagnetic water descalers lies in their ability to generate a varying electromagnetic field around water-carrying pipes. When hard water passes through this field, the electromagnetic waves alter the physical properties of the calcium and magnesium ions that cause hardness, preventing them from forming hard scale deposits. Instead, these minerals remain suspended in the water in a non-adherent form, allowing them to flow freely through the system and subsequently be drained away. This process does not remove the minerals from the water, thus retaining its health benefits while effectively mitigating the issues associated with scale.

4. Magnetic descaler, like Scalesweeper Electronic Hard Water Conditioner

Overview
Magnetic water descalers present a cutting-edge approach to water treatment, focusing on the prevention of scale formation caused by hard water minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These devices utilize magnetic fields to modify the physical properties of mineral ions in the water, thereby inhibiting the formation of hard scale deposits on surfaces like pipes, appliances, and boilers.

Principle of Operation
At the heart of a magnetic water descaler is a series of magnets or an electromagnetic coil that creates a powerful magnetic field around water pipes. As water passes through this magnetic field, the magnetic forces alter the electromagnetic properties of calcium and magnesium ions. This change prevents the ions from crystallizing and clinging to surfaces as scale. Instead, these minerals continue to flow with the water, reducing the risk of scale buildup without altering the water's chemical composition.

5. Other physical or chemical processes that alter the structure or behavior of hardness minerals.

Key Features of Salt-Free Water Conditioners

Scale Prevention: They prevent the formation of scale by changing the physical properties of hardness minerals, ensuring these minerals don't stick to surfaces.

No Sodium Addition: Unlike traditional softeners, they don't add sodium to the water, making the treated water more suitable for people on low-sodium diets and for irrigation purposes.

Eco-friendly: These systems do not produce wastewater or use chemicals, making them more environmentally sustainable than traditional softening methods.

Maintenance-Free: Salt-free conditioners often require minimal maintenance, as there's no need to regularly replenish salt or other chemicals.

Retains Beneficial Minerals: The process keeps beneficial minerals in the water, maintaining its natural health benefits.

Efficient Water Use: They don't require backwash water, leading to more efficient water use and conservation.

FAQ by our customers all over the world

Q1 : How does BriskSpring household water conditioner remove exhisted limescale?

A1: When water FULLY contacts the alloy material inside the water softener, the physical characteristics of the water change.

The surface tension of the water decreases, and its permeability increases, allowing it to penetrate between the scale and the container walls. The existing scale gradually softens and slowly falls off.

Q2: Why does BriskSpring household water conditioner seem ineffective after use?

A2: The softening and detachment of scale is a process. Since it does not rely on adding any chemicals to alter the water's chemical properties, it typically takes 1-3 months to notice the effects after installation. Unlike salt-based water softeners, the effect of a salt-free water softener is long-term (10-year lifespan), with scale gradually falling off under conditions of water flow greater than 2T/h.

Q3: How does it prevent the formation of new water limescale in the hard water?

A3: When water FULLY contacts the alloy material inside the water softener, the physical characteristics of the water change.

The decrease in surface tension affects the nucleation and crystallization process of scale crystals, altering the morphology of scale crystals. The scale becomes easy to disperse and less likely to adhere. That is, calcium and magnesium ions are less likely to bind with carbonate ions, preventing new scale formation.

Q:4 If no new scale is formed, does the TDS value of the water change?

A4: The TDS value does not change, because no chemicals are added to the water. The process uses alloy materials to alter the water's surface tension, making it a purely physical method of scale prevention and descaling. It is environmentally friendly and does not produce wastewater.

Q5: Are you a manufacturer?

A: Yes. We are a top manufacturer of water filtration system in china and an industry leader and standard drafting units. For the water prefilters, we already developed over 10 generations of different types of washing modes for the filters.

Q6: Can we use our logo/brand?

A6: Yes, we already do OEM and ODM with famous brands like Honeywell, Pentair, iSpring, and many other first-tier brands.

Q7: How to contact you and get samples?

A7: Pls contact Rina (srt3@parshun.com, +86 138 0903 2358) to get samples of different models.

Q8: What's the order delivery time?

A8: Our capacity of production is 150000 units per month and the Lead time is according to the order quantity, order models, and packing. Generally, it takes about 7-25 days.

What is a Salt-Free Water Conditioner ?

A Salt-Free Water Conditioner is a device designed to manage hard water issues without the use of salt or chemicals, which are typically employed in traditional water softeners. Instead of removing hard water minerals such as calcium and magnesium through ion exchange, salt-free water conditioners neutralize these minerals so they remain in the water but lose their ability to cause scale buildup on fixtures, pipes, and appliances.

Prevailing Types of Salt-Free Water Conditioner

1. SAAS ion polarization, like BriskSpring Hard Water Conditioner

2. Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC)

Overview

TAC technology operates on the principle of transforming dissolved calcium and magnesium minerals in water into harmless, microscopic crystals that won't adhere to pipes, appliances, or fixtures, thereby preventing scale buildup effectively.

Operational Mechanism

The core of TAC technology lies in its unique treatment media. This media contains catalytically active sites that facilitate the nucleation process – the creation of micro-crystals of calcium carbonate from the dissolved minerals in the water. As water flows through a TAC system, these micro-crystals form and grow to a size that can easily be rinsed away by the water flow, preventing them from attaching to surfaces. This process is entirely physical and does not alter the chemical composition of the water, preserving its beneficial minerals while eliminating the negative effects of scale.
