Control Head - 5 year warranty Tank - 10 year warranty 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee DIY Installation Instructions Free Phone and/or email Tech Support Eliminate the hard water that causes scale build up and iron that causes red staining with a single system! Eliminates Scale Buildup - Hard water causes a white flaky build up (called scale) to form on appliances, faucets, and just about anything that it comes in regular contact with. By removing the hard water, this scale build up is stopped in it's tracks, so you don't have to worry about scrubbing it off any more. In addition, without the added wear and tear of scale buildup, your appliances and fixtures will last longer! Removes Ferrous Iron - this system is able to remove ferrous (clear water) iron, and some ferric iron. Removes Manganese - Manganese is commonly seen as a black "slimy" stain or build up. Meter Based Regeneration - This system uses a meter based regeneration process. This means that the water you use is measured and the system only regenerates when it needs to. If water needs increase the system regenerates more often to keep up. If less water is being used, the system regenerates less often to conserve water. Fleck 5600SXT Digital Control - The SXT controller is the newest controller from Fleck and is built on the tried and true 5600 valve. These valve have an outstanding warranty.2.

Eddy Water Descaler Electronic Water Softener
Feature
Reduce lime scale in the home and businessEasy customer installation - Metal or Plastic pipes
No salt alternative to a water softener
Emulates softened water without altering TDS (keeps healthy minerals)
12 month 100% Money-Back Guarantee + Lifetime Repair or Replace warranty
Description
Do you live in a hard water area and suffer from lime scale on sinks, faucets and showers? This is because your water supply contains dissolved magnesium, calcium, manganese compounds which appear as troublesome lime scale. They form into hard deposits settling on the surfaces of sinks, faucets, pipes and inside appliances, creating restrictions and greatly reducing the efficiency of water heaters and furnaces. Eddy is easy for anyone to fit, requires NO plumbing changes, does not require any salt and costs a fraction of the price of a conventional salt-fed water softener. Eddy produces a complex electro-magnetic wave which is applied through two coils placed round your incoming water supply pipe. In this way your water is subjected to an ever changing magnetic field as it passes through the coils. This alters the adhesion properties of the limescale so that it no longer deposits itself on your clean surfaces, inside pipework and appliances. Eddy does NOT alter the chemical hardness (TDS) of the water so the beneficial effects of the calcium and other particulates is retained - for example, calcium has been shown in medical tests to reduce incidence of heart disease. Eddy has been successfully used worldwide in thousands of homes and businesses for over 15 years, is highly economical and in most cases represents an easy eco-friendly alternative to salt-based water softeners. It is effective on all types of water pipe (except lead and iron) and is the only descaler to come with a risk-free, no-quibble 12 month money-back guarantee and a Lifetime repair or replace guarantee. Thousands have been sold for use in homes and businesses. Buy with confidence. Comes with standard cables for pipe diameters up to 1.5 inches. For larger pipes please see Eddy 'Coil Set C' on our Amazon Storefront. SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING MONEY-BACK WARRANTY: To avoid Amazon 20% restock fee after 30 days, please contact us to arrange returns so that your money can be refunded in full.6.

7. Aquios FS-220 Salt Free Water Softener and Filtration System, Blue
Feature
Perfect solution to both filter and soften waterUtilizes a carbon block filtration rated at 5 microns
Non-salt, food grade additive that softens hard water and, over time, eliminates existing scale build-up
Great tasting water, no chlorine aftertaste, conditioned water. Port size 3/4inch threaded brass
Economical and space-saving solution
Description
The AQUIOS Water Treatment System a full house water conditioning and filtration system that utilizes commercial strength technology and performance in a sleek, compact design. This system will ensure that sediment, chlorine and other undesirable materials are removed from your water, that calcium, magnesium and other by products found in hard water do not build up on your fixtures and pipes, and provide clean, pure and healthy water to you and your family. Unlike salt-based systems, the minerals that make water hard are not removed. Instead, AQUIOS utilizes a commercial, natural technology that ensures that these minerals do not accumulate or build up on faucets, water heaters, shower heads, internal pipes or any other device that utilizes your existing water source. This natural technology is a polyphosphate additive known as Siliphos which inhibits scale deposits and, over time will slowly reduce scale buildup on your pipes and appliances. The result...most scale-causing minerals pass through the systems instead of forming deposits on pipes, appliances and water heater. You will notice a difference in water feel, but not one that is slippery as is commonly found with salt water softeners. The AQUIOS Water Treatment System is a revolutionary approach to water treatment and conditioning. It combines carbon block filtration (rated at 5 microns) with commercial grade water conditioning to deliver a full house, all in one solution. Our unique design ensures virtually no pressure loss or reduction in water flow rate and requires absolutely no programming, electricity or maintenance. It also comes with a 20 year warranty on the housing and valve. Now that's simple..... The AQUIOS Water Treatment System includes your first cartridge and is rated for 40,000 gallons of usage before it requires replacement. This should last approximately six (6) months for the average family household.8. Whirlpool WHES30 30,000 Grain Water Softener - Built in USA - Salt Saving Technology - NSF Certified
