What is a catalytic water conditioner?

Catalytic water conditioners, also known as salt-free water softeners, do not use ion exchange to remove the hardness minerals like their salt-based counterparts.

Salamander Pumps water conditioners utilise a non-sacrificial lead-free alloy core with a special surface. As water passes over the core a catalytic reaction takes place. The minerals’ form is changed to a hardness crystal that does not adhere to surfaces.
