Honest Water Co salt-free water conditioner — single tank, no brine tank required

Whole Home Systems

Salt-Free Water Conditioner

No salt, no drain, no maintenance — keeps the minerals in.

A conditioner rather than a softener. It stops hardness minerals from sticking to your pipes, water heater and fixtures, so you get the scale protection without adding salt to your water or your diet. Worth being clear about the trade-off: it prevents scale, it does not remove hardness.

Best for: Households avoiding salt, or homes with no drain access

Reviews

From people who had one installed

I recently had a whole house water softener installed by honest co. The technician was professional and knowledgeable. This water softener has been a game changer for our household, and I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with hard water issues.

Great service and great value! Honest Water Co installed our whole-home water softener and RO drinking system today. Peter was fantastic—very professional, and left the workspace completely spotless. The entire setup looks great and is working perfectly. Highly recommend!

George came on time and was professional, answered all my questions and installed my new Honest Co water filtration system, I am happy and would highly recommend this team. I have a follow up visit to test my water against my neighbour in to see the real difference in water quality. thanks Honest Water Co.
