HOW DOES SOO~SOFT COMPARE TO SALT SYSTEMS?
Water that
is referred to as “hard” contains minerals (mostly calcium)
that are hard and have sharp edges. The calcium is attracted to itself
and forms what we call lime scale. A
salt-based water softener works by removing a portion of these minerals
from the water and in the process adds some salt to the water. The minerals
in the water that it does not remove are still hard and sharp and will
eventually form lime scale. It just takes longer. Because the water
now has salt in it, it forms a “slick” compound when mixed
with soap. This is not possible to wash off in a shower because the
water keeps adding more salt water onto the skin. Sellers of salt systems
have claimed that the “slippery skin” is from
“natural oils” coming out of clean skin, however wetting
two fingers and rubbing the skin will produce small bubbles, indicating
that the skin is not free of soap. The Soo-Soft system operates
by breaking the hard sharp minerals to a microscopic size and therefore
reducing the surface tension of the water. This allows the
minerals to dissolve back into the water. The water become wetter and
will taste sweeter because the minerals have been dissolved into it.
The wetter water reduces soap, shampoo, and laundry detergent amounts
required while increasing the ability of the water to provide a clean
clear rinse. The water is such a better solvent that it will dissolve
lime scale deposits over its first 90 days of operation. It does this
solely through the use of electronics and uses no salt or chemicals.

HOW DOES
SOO~SOFT COMPARE TO SIMILAR UNITS?
We have
studied carefully the evolution of water treatment as it has evolved
over the
last 100 years and have come together to create a group of products
that fulfills the needs
of residential, commercial, and industrial customers with reliable results
and pricing that is
affordable to everyone.
Many fast-buck hucksters that have created water treatment devices with
minimal
effects and inconsistent results. We have measured many of them and
are not surprised
they did little to improve the water.
Using the latest in digital and analog technology, we have gone to great
length to
develop a product that works consistently in every application. For
that reason we have
designed products with 100 to 1000 times the power of other units on
market.
It works. Water with over 500 parts per million total dissolved solids
can be
consistently softened to a silky texture.
HOW DOES SOO~SOFT COMPARE TO MAGNETS?
As the original
research on alternative water treatment was accomplished with permanent
magnets, we have conducted studies of these units. They have often proven
to be marginally or completely ineffective. As reported in a study done
by Drexel University, permanent magnets work optimally only at a flow
rate of 2.3 meters (7.5 feet) per second. This makes them impractical
and inconsistent home and commercial for most applications. Water flows
at different rates according to the demand created by the user, which
is different at all times. Also, permanent magnets have been found to
clog pipes over time with impurities that are in the water and being
held in position by the magnet.
Soo~Soft systems use computers and amplifiers to alter the physical
chemistry of water. They are reliable and consistent regardless of the
rate of water flow.
U.S.
Department of Energy Study
This
extensive report by the U.S. Department of Energy is a "technology
alert" which is designed to "speed the adoption of energy
efficient and renewable technologies in the Federal sector". It
states that within the Federal sector magnetic water treatment can be
used as a replacement for most water softening equipment such as ion-exchange
(salt-type), reverse osmosis, and lime/soda chemical softening. The
study defines the technology and goes on to analyze life cycle costs,
applications, and describe the energy savings from calcium build up
being removed, which in the model case was up to 30%. In the economic
analysis which covered the savings in a specific instance, payback was
achieved in one year with eventual savings of $2,759,000.00. Magnetic
water treatment is being used successfully at multiple locations throughout
the Federal government.
