If
you have been researching the internet for "salt free
water softeners" you are surely confused by how many
competitors use the words "Water Softeners" in their
advertising literature. Do these competitors' "salt free
softeners" really soften hard water? Will your water
test soft? The answer may surprise you! Before you
purchase from a company claiming “salt-free softening”
be sure to ask and understand how these systems work as
you may find these systems cannot effectively work for
your water source or application.

Prevention System Questions & Answers
What is Hard Water?
The term hardness refers to the quantity of
dissolved calcium and magnesium in water. These
minerals, which come primarily from limestone type rock
formations, are found to some degree in almost all
natural waters. Calcium and magnesium cause problems for
two principal reasons:
When the water is warmed,
they precipitate out of solution and form a hard,
rock-like scale. This scale accelerates corrosion,
restricts flow, and reduces heat transfer in water
heaters and boilers. When they combine with soap,
they react to form a curd, which interferes with
cleaning, dries out skin, and leaves deposits on
plumbing and clothes (bathtub ring; ring around the
collar). The minerals in hard water gradually settle out
forming a hard scale. Scale centimeters thick can build
up over time in hard water areas. Scale build up will
eventually clog pipe, and can decrease the life of
toilet flushing units by 70 percent and water faucets by
40 percent according to a report published by the
American Water Works Association (AWWA). Hardness scale
can also shorten life of washing equipment, dishwashers,
and clothes washers by as much as 30 percent according
to the AWWA report.
Hardness is measured in parts
per million (or the equivalent mg/L) or in grains per
gallon (gpg). Note: if the water analysis is given in
ppm as CaCO3 then 1 gpg = 17.1 ppm. There is no
established limit for the acceptable level of hardness
in water, but it is generally considered to become
problematic at around 3 gpg.
Levels of hardness
are referred to as follows:
Soft Water: 0 - 1
grains per gallon (gpg) Slightly Hard Water: 1 - 4
grains per gallon (gpg) Moderately Hard Water: 4 - 7
grains per gallon (gpg) Hard Water: 7 - 10 grains
per gallon (gpg) Very Hard Water: Over 10 grains per
gallon (gpg)
1. How does the Whole House
No-Salt RDWS-Sierra Package work?
First,
water enters the premium carbon prefilter to remove or
reduce
chlorine bad tastes chemical odors, organic chemicals,
lead and cysts. Second, clean water now
enters the hard water scale prevention media system.
This media transforms calcium ions (hard water) into
calcium crystals, which are stable and cannot attach to
pipes, surfaces, hardware, or heat exchanger components.
These crystals are so small they are easily rinsed away
by water flow. Note: this is not a spot free system - A
simple damp cloth (if at all) is more than sufficient to
remove any residual mineral deposits.
2.
Is the RDWS-Sierra Package a Water Softener?
No. To "soften water" you actually have to remove
the calcium and magnesium hard water minerals. The
RDWS-Sierra Package does not remove the calcium or
magnesium. These systems are alternatives to salt based
water softeners and perfect for customers who live in
banned water softener areas or who just want to Go
Green! The antiscale media transforms calcium ions
(hard water) into calcium crystals, which are stable and
cannot attach to pipes, surfaces, hardware, or heat
exchanger components.
3. I see other
companies advertising similar systems calling them "salt-free
water softeners", "no-salt
water softeners", and "saltless
water softeners", why don't you?
The RainDance Water Systems name is synonymous with
quality and reliability. We offer and specialize in both
salt less water conditioners and sodium optional water
softeners. We are proud to say that we have many happy
and satisfied customers throughout the world using both
of these technologies. However, we choose to sell our
non-salt water conditioners correctly by not calling
them "water softeners" and want you to know that your
water will not test soft due to the calcium & magnesium
being left in the water and you wont get that slippery
feel to the water.
4. Are your
RDWS-Sierra Package environmentally friendly?
Yes. These systems do not require electricity, no
brine water discharge or backwash water, no control
valve, no drainline, no waste water, no salt, and saves
water!
5. Will your RDWS-Sierra Package
provide whole house drinking water filtration?
Yes. Our RDWS-Sierra Package provides both whole
house chlorine bad tastes and chemical odor filtration
at every tap! We even include an easy do it yourself
chlorine test kit with each system!
6.
Will the conditioned water make me feel slimy?
No. There will not be the slippery feel on your skin
when you shower or bathe. This feel is typically
associated with salt based water softeners.
7. Can your RDWS-Sierra Package be used to treat
well water sources?
No. The RDWS-Sierra
Package is designed to treat hard water, chlorine bad
tastes, and odors typically associated with city
municipal water sources. Ask us about our variety of
well water treatment solutions!
8. What
type of maintenance can I expect to have with your
RDWS-Sierra Package?
We consider our
RDWS-Sierra Package a virtually maintenance free system.
We recommend replacing the carbon prefilter
approximately every 6-9 months or when needed. The hard
water antiscale media should be replaced approximately
every 3-5 years or when needed.
9. Can I
have a plumber install your RDWS-Sierra Package or can
the home owner provide installation?
A
plumber or do-it-yourselfer can easily install the
RDWS-Sierra Package and you will love the fact that you
do not need to bother with a drain line or electricity.
We also provide detailed installation instructions which
allow DIY with basic plumbing knowledge to install
themselves.
Here's a quick look at the
installation process: Our simple In/Out design makes
installation quick and easy.
