Is your water killing your plants? It is too harsh for your skin, clothes washer and ruining your hair? Salt is a common problem found in water systems today. Salt is able to destroy plants and kill soil for years to come, and water softeners are the blame for the deposited added salt into the water system. This becomes a tremendous problem for salt is extremely difficult and very expensive to remove from water. Imagine if your clothes washer hoses had to be completely replaced, pipes in the wall, etc…all due to excessive salt deposits. It is a continual problem, and the state of California is in attempts of creating legislation to ban water softeners from being sold in California. Water is already scarce in California and the entire Western coast is being forced to find ways to conserve and protect the remaining water supplies still available today.
Before going into how to solve the salt issue, it is best to know how salt softeners work. Salt softeners replace ‘good’ minerals, such as calcium with unhealthy minerals aka sodium. The purpose for doing so is eliminating “scale.” However, this causes too many problems down the line. Therefore, a solution is needed to this dire situation.
ECOsmarte offers a non-salt and non-chemical alternative to ion exchange also called, water softening. ECOsmarte changes the “hard” minerals, calcium and magnesium in the water to bicarbonate forms. This makes the minerals unable to form the hard scale build-up in plumbing and around fixtures eliminating such nuisances. Another benefit of changing minerals to bicarbonates is that those minerals beneficial to health become more available to be absorbed by the human body rather than excessive salt intake, which is not healthy for anyone.
Furthermore, the technology not only prevents scale build-up, but eliminates existing build-up extending the operating life of the plumbing and fixtures in the home. This is another added benefit absolutely unique to the ECOsmarte technology.
ECOsmarte is widely installed in California. Also, it is important to note that this water system does not add salt to the water ensuring it will not be banned by California legislation current or future. It is a solid system available today.
The ECOsmarte Point-of-Entry Home Water Treatment System is approved by the Water Quality Association.
It has a long history able to provide long-term results of water quality tests before and after installs. Water testing has been completed by many independent organizations, such as the National Testing Laboratories of Ypsilanti, MI. As a matter of fact, the ECOsmarte Well System includes a pre-installation test of the well water by the National Testing Laboratory. The well system is then custom-designed for the home owner to solve the particular problems of the well.
Also, the water purification system is known as a point of entry system. This means it is installed at the point where the water supply comes into the home. Therefore, it is able to treat all of the water in the home rather than just at one or two faucets at a time. This creates purified water for everything in the house including kitchen faucets, showers, laundry facilities, and the yard.
The ECOsmarte technology sanitizes the water, which is something water softeners are incapable of doing, providing additional benefit otherwise unavailable in the home water treatment industry. Water softeners and point-of-use water filters rely on chlorination provided by the city for disinfection. ECOsmarte removes the chlorine and the chlorine by-products and replaces them with oxygen and ionization – providing residual, natural, chemical-free sanitation.
