Salt Free System
10" x 54" media tank · No salt, no drain, no electricity
Los Angeles water is hard. It carries dissolved calcium and magnesium, and those minerals leave scale behind: the white, chalky crust you see on faucets and shower heads. The same crust builds up out of sight inside your pipes, water heater, dishwasher and washing machine, where it slows the flow, wastes energy and shortens their life. The Salt Free System keeps the minerals in the water but changes them through the TAC process (Template Assisted Crystallization) into microscopic crystals that cannot stick, so they rinse through instead of building up. It uses the same 10 inch by 54 inch fiberglass tank as our Standard. Water flows straight through, so there is no control valve, no regeneration and no drain line. No salt to refill, nothing to plug in, and the media lasts 5 years.

What it does not do
A salt free system is not a softener. We would rather you know before you buy than after.
- It does not soften water or remove hardness
- Your hardness test will read the same afterwards
- It will not give you the slick feel of soft water
- It does not reduce chlorine or chloramine on its own, so we pair it with a carbon tank
