Having to refill the brine tank on a monthly basis is considered a huge hassle to most property owners; mostly because the salt is messy, and the bags are very heavy and hard to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, in order for a home to maintain consistent water conditioning, a person has to complete this chore every four to six weeks. When it comes to salt-free units, pellets are not required to condition water. Instead, a homeowner simply needs to replace a cartridge every three to six months, a much easier and less time-consuming task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Environmental Threats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Salt-based water conditioners can be considered a hazard to the environment as well.\u00a0If this is something that concerns you, then a salt-free water softener is an appropriate choice.\u00a0This is because salt-based water softeners discharge up to four gallons of salty water for every gallon of water treated.\u00a0This can be harmful to the environment and reduce the effectiveness of sewers and septic tanks overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Excessive Filtration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional water softening systems function well when it comes to removing unsafe minerals from your home water supply, however, they can also remove the healthy ones.\u00a0Newer model water softeners use the science of chelation, which effectively eliminates harmful minerals while retaining the good ones.These same systems can also prevent and help eliminate scale-buildup in bathrooms, showers, sinks, tubs, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Are Saltless Water Softeners the Better Choice?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saltless water softeners offer a wide range of benefits. Not only is salt-free water softening offer several environmental benefits, but it also saves property owners money on water and energy bills, plus it\u2019s low maintenance. Instead of buying and refilling salt pellets, one simply needs to replace a specialized water conditioning cartridge every 3 to 6 months, which is easier and faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Have you thought about the incentives of choosing a salt-free water softening system for your home or business?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Weilhammer Plumbing Company<\/a> at 317-784-1870 for professional water softener sales, installation, service, and repair in Indianapolis, Indiana.
