Saltless Water Softener? (lemmy.ninja)

Has anyone had good experiences with a saltless water softener/conditioner in their home?

I live in an area with hard water, at about 400ppm. I have a salt water softener already, but am tired of having to fill it with salt that just ends up in my septic system, and ultimately into the ground water.

Most advice says you can’t soften water without salt. But I’ve had good experience with ProOne’s gravity water filter, and noticed they also have a water softener/conditioner. Unfortunately I can’t find much info or reviews on their saltless softener: https://prooneusa.com/product/prosoft-saltless-water-softener-conditioner/

There's citric acid based softeners as well like nuvoh2o https://nuvoh2o.com/

Not sure how it affects septic systems though.

Interesting, I use Citric acid all the time to descale the coffee machine and my cpap humidifier.

I suppose it’s just like those things you can put on the end of your garden hose that meters out the correct dose based on flow rate, but permanently mounted.
