Scale Sentry Saltless Water Conditioner 

Most water contains water hardness, which is a combination of calcium and magnesium ions. When present in your water these ions will bond together and form scale that builds up over time. As the scale builds up it restricts the water flow through your plumbing, reducing the efficiency of water appliances such as water heaters and dishwashers. Your faucets and other water fixtures also suffer, accumulating an unsightly white, flaky residue. In addition to the damage done to your appliances and fixtures, calcium and magnesium ions also attach themselves to soaps and detergents, decreasing their ability to clean and promoting the formation of soap scum. This means time spent cleaning the build up and soap scup, and more money spent on soaps and detergents.

Traditional water softeners use ion exchange to exchange the calcium and sodium ions with sodium (salt) ions. The disadvantages of this method include:

In addition, standard softeners need a control valve for regeneration. The control valve requires electricity and uses moving parts that can wear out. For decades the salt based ion exchange systems were the only way to solve the problem of hard water. Now, there is an alternative!

Filtersorb SP3, the alternative to salt based ion exchange systems, act as a template, converting the magnesium and calcium ions into inert crystals. Benefits of this include:

Additionally, since no regeneration is required, there is no electricity required & no moving parts. More information on the Filtersorb process can be seen on the FAQ page.

To increase the efficiency and longevity of your new Scale Sentry system, two "Big Blue" canister filters are included in the price. The first canister is a sediment filter, this removes sediment and particulates to ensure the Scale Sentry system is functioning at peak efficiency. The second canister is a carbon block filter, this filter removes chlorine, tastes, odors, & chemicals, protecting the Scale Sentry system and ensuring the longest life possible. Filter tank systems are available in place of the canister filters, offering reduced maintenance and lower long term operating costs.
