Default water conditioners...do they work?

Freddy wrote:
Hello.

We wanted to look at a water softener but our home is fully finished
and the plumbing is not accessable. I have to soften all lines in the
home, there is no way to isolate the kitchen sink or other drinking
water lines. We do not want to drink/cook with sof****er. And we don't
see the value in plumbing the hot side only.

So, any comments on water conditioners? I came across these guys
http://www.freije.com/residential-how-it-works.html and many more for
that mater. Are they for real, do they actually work?

Any comments are appreciated.
Thanks.


I would be very skeptical that this unit would work - even consider it a
fraud. To soften water you have to preform some chemistry which is
replacing calcium with sodium. Those on low salt diets would be better
off drinking hard water.
