Salt-free water conditioners

Description
Enjoy cleaner, scale-free water without the use of salt or harsh chemicals. Leaf Home’s salt-free water conditioner is designed for homeowners seeking a sustainable and low-maintenance solution to hard water problems.


What is a salt-free water conditioner?

A water conditioning system is a salt-free alternative to a salt-based softener. Unlike salt-based water softeners, salt-free water conditioners do not remove calcium and magnesium from water. Instead, they convert hardness minerals into microscopic crystals that remain suspended in water and are less likely to form scale. Perfect for families who do not like the feeling of soft water but want to protect their home’s appliances against hard water scale buildup.

Benefits of salt-free water conditioners for your home

No added sodium

Traditional salt-based water softeners swap the minerals in hard water for sodium. However, salt-free water softeners don’t add sodium to your drinking water and also leave behind essential minerals.

Environmentally friendly

Salt-free water conditioners don’t have regeneration cycles, which means that water isn’t wasted, and they don’t produce a salt brine that goes back into the environment.

Low maintenance

Salt-free conditioners require minimal maintenance, unlike their counterparts, which makes them more cost-effective in the long term.

Extend appliance lifespan

By descaling your water, salt-free water conditioners help prevent scale buildup and mineral deposits in pipes and appliances, extending their lifespan.

A major benefit of saltless water conditioners is that they are easy to maintain. 

Leaf Home Water Solutions offers annual maintenance in which we will inspect the system fully for any signs of leaks, excessive wear and/or damage, and clean/replace seals and spacers as needed. The conditioning media in the tank lasts up to five years before it needs to be refilled.

Water quality varies from home to home, so exactly what you and your family need may be different from your neighbor’s or friend’s home depending on several factors. During our free, no-obligation consultation, one of our water experts will test your home’s water and tell you exactly what’s in it. They will then recommend a customized solution to treat your home’s specific water issues, providing you with a solution that meets both your water needs and budget.

We can tell you! The right size depends on several factors, including your household water usage and the initial hardness of your water. Leaf Home Water Solutions provides a comprehensive test of your home’s water during our free, no-obligation consultation. A water expert from our team will determine the hardness level and recommend the appropriate size and model for your needs.

No, it doesn’t soften in the traditional sense. Instead, it conditions the water by preventing scale buildup without removing minerals.

Salt-based softener systems remove hardness-causing minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and require periodic salt refills and an automatic regeneration process. Salt-free conditioners do not remove hard water minerals, but instead modify them to prevent scale build-up. Both can greatly benefit your plumbing and water-based appliances’ lifespan. Softeners have added benefits such as softer skin and hair.
