• Salt-Free Water Softener
• Substitutes the hard minerals with
  potassium-chloride instead of sodium chloride
  (brine)
• More appropriate for those concerned about
  excessive salt intake, but less effective than
  conventional techniques
• Works as a descaler prevents minerals from
  depositing on surfaces instead of reducing their
  amount

• Dual-Tank Water Softeners for Home
• Eliminates the problem of water softener
  recharging for large families or those with time
  constraints
• Uses a dual-tank unit with two resin tanks one
  tank works and the other regenerates in the
  meantime
• Continuous supply of softened water without
  break
• Since it requires space, should be installed
  where the main water line is situated so that it
  supplies the whole house with softened water
• Drain for backwashing also required
