The salt in conventional water softeners actually remove the minerals from the water, "softening" it. Saltless water heater, also known as descales, do not actually remove the minerals from the water, they prevent it from depositing in your pipes, but now in your water heater or places where the water sits for an extended period of time.
Phosphorus, a nonmetallic chemical element, is a mineral and never found alone in nature. It is found in washing powder because it is useful for softening water and to prevent pipe corrosion.
You may have a restriction in your hot water heater exit pipes. There may be corrosion. How old is the house and how old is the hot water heater? What type of pipe is there going out of the hot water heater? You need to know this to fix the problem yourself without hiring a plumber.
Heater cores are usually well protected from mechanical damage but they can be damaged by corrosion and sediment deposits. If you change the coolant in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations you will extend the life of the heater core, the water pump and the radiator.

Water conditioning counteracts the hardness in water to prevent a build up of limescale. It differs from water softening in that softening removes minerals from the water, whereas conditioning doesn't.
Water is not softened with deuterium.

In the field of water supplies, it is a factor that must be considered in chemical coagulation, disinfection, water softening and corrosion control. In waste water treatment processes pH must be controlled with in range favorable to particular organisms. All these processes are controlled by environmental engineers.
Both air and water are needed for corrosion to take place
Water softening removes elements such as magnesium, calcium and other metal cations from water. The main benefits of these systems include better compatibility with soap and the extension of the lifetime of plumbing.
It enhances corrosion..
