Just like the title says i am on a mission to find a salt free solution. I really dont care what it is but ideally it would be something i never have to mess with. I have read far to many posts here so i know what the sentiment is; I am only starting this thread to track progress. This site always seemed to be the one place where everyone one ultimately ends up via searching so here is where i am making my home. I am only dealing with companies i find to be legitimate and ones that give money back guarantees. I live in San Diego our water is generally around 16 grains, i installed a whole house water filter about a month ago and am now albeiit slowly working my way through salt free options. I am starting with the lower end working my way up until i get to a point that something works. Either way i will periodically make notes here for others to follow as well as feel free to email me if you like. My current test bed is a couple year old shower head that has approx 25% of the individual sprayers plugged or severely restricted. The day i find a solution that clears my shower head without me cleaning or touching it is the day i will say i have a solution.
1st item i am testing is a magnetic clamp on solution, i will not mention the name as i dont think i am suppose to:
Unit has been installed for only a couple days now. I can say that pretty quickly i noticed a change in the flavor of the water. How that is possible i dont know but it did change. I plan on following up down the road and removing to see if the flavor changes back.
I also thought once or twice i noticed a difference in how the water feels, but have since set that aside as in my head. Not saying it does not feel different i am just thinking i want it to work so could easily be my brain. A good test to this will be when the wife gets home in a few weeks. I am not going to tell her its installed and just see what she says about the water.
Lastly as of right now i cant say there are less spots or anything else. No other noticeable changes. From reading this board for many months now i already know what is coming. Again this is just for information, i have found this site very informative and worth the effort and why i decided to post here. One way or another i am going to find a salt free solution. I know there is potassium and if i have to that is where i will end up. However i also know there are enough folks like myself out there or some of these companies would not still be around. So here it goes, hopefully i will find OZ at the end of the yellow brick road. If not i will do my best to bring others along the journey so they can learn from my findings or mistakes.
