No, to soften water, you need a water softener. The salt used in the brine tank of a water softener does not directly soften the water, but is used to regenerate the resin beads in your water softener. These actually soften the water from your well by removing the hard water ions, calcium, magnesium and iron.
Some nice things about salt-free systems are that they donât waste water the way water softeners do, they cost less to operate and donât require much maintenance. Conditioned water also doesnât have the âslipperyâ feel you get from a water softener, which can be an advantage or disadvantage, depending on your preference. The operation of water conditioners can also be affected by the types of contaminants you have in your water, which can vary by region.
