Stop Poisoning the Earth with Chlorides from your Water Softener - Pure water from every faucet
We have had an Ecosmarte Water whole house filtration system for 2 years now. Our water is really hard - 20 grains of hardness. We live in the country and have a septic tank. Our water source is a mutually owned well.
We researched the impact of water softeners on the environment and discovered some important information that would affect our choice of water system. Salt and potassium softeners put chlorides into the environment, and wastewater treatment plants cannot remove them. There are many cities that have banned the use of these softeners (one quite near us) because the chloride levels in the rivers and ground water are too high, affecting sensitive crops and upsetting the ecological balance (chloride resistant non-native plants thrive, native species suffer).
Ecosmarte Water eliminated our need for a softener - AND eliminated our hard water scaling! The minerals stay in the water using copper ionization to change the structure of the minerals so they are no longer a problem. We are so satisfied with our system! My hair is softer, skin isn't dried out, no chlorine smelly showers and soaps work just as well as with softened water. Plus, no monthly service and endless bills like at our last house - yay! I love being able to drink from any faucet and have even taken a drink during my shower knowing it's clean water. The healthy minerals stay in the water - not like reverse osmosis, which we discovered wastes 3-4 gallons for every gallon produced. There is no wasted water with this system - we even use the backwash for extra irrigation. It's completely safe for septic, too.
The maintenance is practically non-existent - we clean a chamber once a year, takes about 1/2 hour. All of the rest of the maintenance is 4-7 years down the line. I am honestly amazed and thrilled to have found a eco-friendly solution to water filtration. We cannot recommend this system highly enough - we love it. Wish we would have found it 10 years ago.

Chemical free spa
About eight years ago I became aware of a natural oxygen technology that allowed me to enjoy a spa without the nasty chemicals-- in fact the hot water felt like it had lotion in it instead of the normal dry out my skin effect from the bromine or chlorine. It is a great product and the spa can be drained right to my rose garden.
