How to Go Green with Water

The RainSoft Centurion offers you an all natural method of water filtration that will help to condition your water, without

a negative impact on our environment. This technology allows for the conditioning of your water without the use of chemicals or the waste caused by traditional system. Dissolved minerals in hard water which enter your home form a scale which makes water heaters and other water-using appliances work harder than necessary.

How to Go Green with Water

Introducing the RainSoft Centurion, a water filtration system that uses natural methods to condition water without harming the environment. This innovative technology effectively conditions water without the need for chemicals or the waste associated with traditional systems. Hard water contains dissolved minerals that can form scale, making water heaters and other appliances work harder than necessary. The RainSoft Centurion Whole House Multi-Media Filtration System treats water as soon as it enters your home, ensuring that all water distributed throughout the entire house is well-conditioned.

What are the differences between salt-free water conditioners and traditional water conditioners?

Traditional water softeners and salt-free water softeners work differently to address the issue of hard water. Salt-free water conditioners are a good option for those looking to reduce maintenance and environmental impact, but their effectiveness can vary based on specific needs and water conditions. Traditional water softeners are highly effective at softening water but require more maintenance and add sodium to the water.

To be more specific, salt-free water softeners do not actually remove the minerals that cause hard water. Instead, they work by reducing the ability of the minerals in the water to form scale. This is achieved through a process called Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC), where microscopic crystals of scale (seed crystals) are created in the water, preventing scale buildup on surfaces in the water system and allowing the crystals to be carried away in the water. In other words, instead of removing calcium and magnesium, salt-free systems alter their chemical structure to prevent them from binding to surfaces and forming scale.

Traditional water softeners use a process called ion exchange. They have a resin bed filled with small beads that are saturated with sodium (or sometimes potassium) ions. As hard water passes through the resin bed, the calcium and magnesium ions (which cause water hardness) are attracted to the resin and replaced with sodium ions. Over time, the resin beads become saturated with calcium and magnesium ions and need to be regenerated. This is done by flushing the system with a brine solution (high in sodium), which recharges the resin beads with sodium ions and flushes the calcium and magnesium ions down the drain.
