Non-electric water softeners
the uncomfortable truth
Try this simply experiment1) Put some hard water in a glass
2) Add a small quantity of Ion Exchange Resin
3)
Stir the water with a spoon
Here is the result.
Hard Water + Ion Exchange Resin = Softened Water
FACTEnsign Water Softeners use a non-electric softening process. No electricity is used to soften
the water. This is because all water softening
is non-electric.
The term
non-electric water softener is simply a marketing term used by the mechanically controlled
water softener people to try to imply that all the others are ‘electric’. The truth is
the water softening process in everyones water softener is non-electric.
In the marketplace, the choice is
between the mechanically controlled water softeners with cogs, gears or
mechanical pressure drop displacement meters to count the gallons or
electronic controlled water softeners with frictionless electronics to count the
gallons.
Neither choice uses
power to soften the water.
An Ensign water softener uses 12volt electronics to keep the time, count the litres used and control the salt low monitor only. That'll cost about 15p a month, with no cogs, no gears and no wear.

wouldn't drive a car without a fuel gauge would you? Then why own a water
softener without a salt monitor... (more) |
