Description
Salt-Free Water Softener
Salt Free Water Softener is an innovative solution to hard water issues, transforming the calcium that otherwise causes scale and lime deposits into mechanically stable and heat resistant calcite crystals. These tiny particles are flushed away before they have a chance to cause added expenses in the form of energy costs or repair bills.
For hardness levels above 25 gpg, salt-free softener systems may require additional pre-treatment or media – it is recommended to consult with a specialist concerning this. Salt-free water softeners are cost effective as well as creating healthier drinking water for those it serves.
Water Travels Through 4 Stages of Filtration
- Stage 1: Water flows through a 20” sediment filter cartridge that removes sediment, silt, sand, and dirt.
- Stage 2: Water flows through an Anti-Scale media tank.
- Stage 3: Water flows through a 20” solid carbon cartridge for removing volatile organic carbon compounds (VOCs), insecticides, pesticides, and industrial solvents.*
- Stage 4: Water passes through a 20” 0.2-micron ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. Ultrafiltration (UF) is an important purification technology used for the production of high-purity water. UF is effective for the removal of colloids, proteins, bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa and pyrogens (e.g., gram-negative bacterial endotoxins), other organic molecules larger than 0.2-micron, and most other water contaminants known today.

Removal of Existing Calcium Deposits
The calcium crystals which are flushed away by the water cannot attach to any surfaces but, due to the nanostructure of the crystals, they have a function similar to the Crystal Quest® Eagle® Anti-Scale Media. It binds additional calcium to itself and therefore breaks the grid binding structure of the calcium deposits. The result is that even after a short time large pieces of deposits are removed. This process continues until the surface is free from deposits.
Formation of a Corrosion-Preventing Layer
Salt Free Water Softener is an innovative technology that helps to prevent damage in plumbing systems caused by calcium (hardness) present in water. Hardness leads to scale build-up over time which can increase energy costs and cause expensive repairs or replacements for appliances. Additionally, it can be the source of bacteria growth, making the water hazardous for drinking purposes. Pre-treatment may be necessary for hardness levels above 25 gpg, although a specialist should be consulted for advice on this matter. This salt free solution prevents mineral deposits from forming, and effectively creates a much safer environment when it comes to obtaining clean drinking water.
A dosing for permanent hardness may be required as a pretreatment for anti-scale in some hard waters. With an Anti-Scale/Salt Free Conditioner, you will totally eliminate the use of salt and wastewater that comes along with backwashing, while still providing your home with comfortable, soft-feeling water.

With a softener, you will totally eliminate the use of salt and wastewater that comes along with backwashing, while still providing your home with comfortable, soft-feeling water. Used as an alternative to salt-based softeners, Eaglesorb ES3 scale control media prevents the negative effects of calcium and magnesium while allowing the positive health benefits to remain.
