With one exception, no.
What's the exception?
The one exception is a unit (not the one in the above link) that mixes air with the water to oxidize the minerals in the water. The folks selling that system provide plausible info on how it works and plausible and reasonably comprehensive lab test data to back up their claims.However, even with that system it's not clear that it would function effectively with a wide range of water conditions.
So convenient a thing it is to be a reasonable Creature, since it enables one to find or make a Reason for everything one has a mind to do. --Benjamin Franklin
Do you mean no sodium chloride softeners or no salt of any kind.
.
A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
I mean no salt at all. Like the website belowhttp://www.e-watertreatmentchemicals.com/watersoftener.html
