Yes, there is a difference between water softeners and water purification systems as water softeners merely filter the water whereas water purification systems actually filter and cleanse the water.

Saltless Water Softener?

Saltless water softeners are a great investment and can actually work to make water more healthy, which is an important aspect of these water softeners. If you are going to make the investment in a new water heater, it is wise to know the advantages that saltless water softeners have over regular water softeners. The most obvious advantage is that they do not add any more sodium to the water than what is already there. This is an extremely important consideration if you are a diabetic or have someone in your home who is. These water softeners can be found in all of the same locations of your average water softener and are a much better investment.


Where can one buy a salt free water softener?

Salt-free water softeners, or descalers, are usually available in the same places one would purchase regular water softeners. Descalers work differently than salt softeners in that they use electromagnetic pulses to break up the crystals that form in hard water.


How do they make drink water filters?

Drinking water is also known as potable water. Charcoal is the primary substance used in conventional drinking or potable water filtration systems. It is also used to absorb heavy metals in poisonings. Refer to heavy metal poisoning solutions on the web for additional iformation. Filtration is not the same a water purification. Systems of purification include reverse osmosis, ultraviolet light exposure, and several other methods which are employed for pure water purification. Requirements for lead acid batteries, like in your car, are produced by such techniques as distillation, which is heating water to produce steam and collecting the steam in pipes for recondensation back in to water. Removing most minerals which can hinder or destroy the desired results of chemical reactions; such as those produced in a lead acid battery to produce electrical energy. Please see the related links section for different kinds of water filters and other related links.

What is the most common extinguishing material used in fire systems?

Ordinary water is used in most fire sprinkler systems. Most fire sprinkler systems are connected directly to the same water you get from the fire hydrant, which is also often the source for drinking water as well.

Can soft water exist naturally?

Yes. Many homes have their own water well/water pump. It sometimes can depend on the depth of the well, or simply the location of where the water well is drilled. The softness of water can vary from house, even in the same neighborhood. Some drill sites have a lot of iron and rust in the water, while others in the same area have good, clear, soft water. But there are many good water softeners that work extremely well to remove the iron and minerals if you have hard water.


Is water softener the same as salt?

There are many reasons for a water softener not to us salt. For example: - The water softener is bypassed (so no water going through it) or switched off. - The water softener is not metering water consumption properly. - The valve is jammed or broken. - There is an air leak in the brine draw mechanism. Which one is most likely will depend on which make and model of water softener you have. If you have an engineering mindset and have a good fault-finding guide, you can try working through these. Otherwise it is time to call in a good water softener engineer. Julian Hobday of KindWater


Does boiled water have more benefit for health than unboiled water?

Boiling water provides a health benefit only if the water is contaminated with bacteria or virus. Boiling for a few minutes will kill disease organisms, as will treatment with "water purification" tablets containing iodine or chlorine. Boiled water has no essentially different chemical composition compared to the same water unboiled.
