Salt Free System Diagram by Environmental ProTech of Houston, TXConventional water softeners are generally considered the most effective and practical way to reduce water hardness and prevent scale formation in pipes and plumbing fixtures. Water softeners, however, require salt to regenerate, and they must be backwashed periodically to rinse and refresh the ion exchange resin. Brine water discharge and the need to conserve water have challenged this conventional technology, and new methods to provide scale-free water are being considered.

Salt Free Systems by Environmental ProTech of Houston, TX

Step #1 (Main tank)

Water enters the system and flows down through a two cubic foot bed of coconut shell activated carbon. This initial water treatment process improves water quality by reducing bad tastes, foul odors, chlorine and organic substances through adsorption.

During this process, water flows upward through the riser tube into the inner tank where treatment for scale prevention is provided using our highly effective, ScaleNet™ anti-scale media. This unique material transforms calcium ions into Calcium crystals, which are stable and cannot attach to pipes, surfaces, hardware or heat exchanger components. The crystals are so small they are easily rinsed away by the water flow! With ScaleNet™, there is no scale on plumbing fixtures, no costly repairs to hot water heaters due to scale, no salt, no brine tank and no electrical control valve. The installation is easy because only a simple “in and out” valve is required.

ScaleNet™ Information

* Performance testing proves ScaleNet™ anti-scale media virtually eliminates new scale formation and aids in the removal of existing scale. Results may vary, however, and performance is based on water hardness levels, flow rate and other factors.
