“I saw an ad for something called EasyWater …”
One of the most widely advertised “NO-SALT” water treatment devices is called EasyWater. You may have seen it advertised on shows like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity or Fox News. Or the latest one is called Hyrdocare. But it’s the same story…
The question folks ask is “Does it work?” The short answer is NO.
Laboratory tests at the Penn State University have confirmed what many water professionals have suggested: “No discernible change in water hardness scaling.”
These “No Salt” gadgets are being hustled on TV, online and through plumbing companies.
The implied and often stated message is that you can get the benefits of SOFT WATER without an ion exchange water softener.
This is simply not true.
There aren’t any effective, low cost “salt free” alternatives for water softening.
- Soft water reduces soap use by up to 75% … there is NO reduction in soap use with these no salt devices.
- Soft water effectively and measurably reduces scale build up in hot water heaters … actual field tests indicate that there is virtually no difference between water run through an EasyWater device and RAW WATER!
- Soft water dramatically reduces water spots on glassware and shower doors … you can see the results. No change with Easy Water and other no salt alternatives.
- Soft water leaves hair silky and skin soft… EasyWater simply leaves a hole in your wallet.
