What Are Salt-Free Water Softeners?

Unlike traditional systems that use ion exchange and salt, salt-free water conditioners use a physical process called Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) to neutralize hardness minerals. These systems don’t remove calcium and magnesium, but they prevent the minerals from sticking to surfaces — which means no scale buildup, and no need for salt or regeneration.

Ideal for customers on sodium-restricted diets, eco-conscious homeowners, or locations with salt-use restrictions, these systems are low-maintenance and highly effective.

Our Salt-Free Water Softener Services

We provide end-to-end support for installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of salt-free systems:

System Installation

Our technicians install salt-free systems customized to your home or business’s water hardness level, flow rate, and plumbing configuration.

Water Quality Testing & System Sizing

We test your water before installation to ensure a salt-free solution is appropriate and that the system will perform efficiently.

Combination Filtration & Conditioning Systems

Need more than just softening? We offer combination systems that pair salt-free softening with chlorine filtration, sediment removal, or carbon filtration.

Maintenance & Performance Checks

Although salt-free systems are low-maintenance, we offer routine check-ups to ensure long-term performance.

We repair and support all major brands of water treatment systems, including:
Rainsoft, Culligan, Rayne, DMS, Alamo, Lindsay, Sears, Aqua Master, General Electric (G.E.), Bruner, Hague, Star, Water Boss, and Montgomery Wards.
