NaturalSof Water Softener Alternative

NaturalSof provides an industry proven catalytic solution for limescale prevention as an alternative to conventional ion exchange systems (water softeners). The NaturalSof unit does not soften water by removing healthy calcium like a water softener. NaturalSof does not add anything to your water either. It uses the natural properties of calcium carbonate (water hardness) to our advantage by changing it into a soft, non-bonding calcium crystal which will not stick to surfaces or form limescale inside appliances and heaters.

How it Works

Our core technology has a twin catalytic effect. The first is the shape which creates turbulence and a very small pressure drop (much less than a softener). Pressure drops create limescale. The second effect is the alloy acting as a battery, generating a very small electrical current as water makes contact with the alloy. The electric current creates the condition needed to rearrange the limescale molecule to a benign soft non-bonding crystal. These suspended soft crystals just stay in the water instead of sticking to pipework and hot water cylinders. They just pass harmlessly through your system and down the drain.
