Kent Salt-Free Water Softener systems are an environmentally-friendly alternative to salt-based water softening systems. They are salt-free, and chemical-free, and use no electricity to condition supply water. They are ideal for residential and light commercial applications where traditional soft water is not permitted.
Salt-free systems from Kent Water use a high-quality, anti-scale media that keeps essential minerals in water to maintain taste but changes the properties of minerals that become hardness scale via NAC processes so they do not attach to plumbing, fixtures, and appliances. Continuous upflow operation eliminates the need for backwash and regeneration processes.
For the media to work to its maximum potential, there are water quality parameters that need to be adhered to. Confirm that the levels of iron (Fe) are less than 0.5 mg/L, manganese (Mn) less than 0.05 mg/L, and copper less than 1.3 mg/L. Public water supplies rarely present a problem; you can check with your municipality to verify the water quality is under these levels. If you have a private well, have the water tested by a certified water specialist to verify the levels of each contaminant.
Retains calcium and magnesium in the water, which are essential for health, while addressing hard water issues.
Prevents scale buildup in pipes, appliances, and fixtures, extending their lifespan and improving efficiency.
Does not discharge brine into wastewater, making it more eco-friendly than salt-based systems and conserving water.
Requires minimal maintenance compared to salt-based softeners, with no need for salt replenishment or regeneration cycles.
Extends the life and enhances the performance of water-using appliances like water heaters and dishwashers.
Often operates without electricity, leading to energy savings and increased reliability.
Protects against corrosion by preventing scale buildup in plumbing and appliances.
Reduces water hardness and its negative effects on water quality without adding sodium or potassium.
