I have a Kinetico softener in my personal home which I've rebuilt twice over the years including resin change.
This system as u probably know, recycles based solely on water usage (no timer). Yet, do to the condition of my water, I still use allot of salt that cost $$ since i don't use the cheep stuff.
MY Question: I recall an advertisement some time ago that was selling some type of electrical device to replace the resin/salt system.
I do not recall the name of this device nor the manufacturer.
I can only assume that a special kind of resin or the like that uses an applied electrical charge to do the attraction and the ion release is accomplished when the electrical charge is turned off. In other words, the electrical charge is used for the exchange in place of the salt breaking the ion charge. Just a guess.
Does anyone know of this system/method, and if so do U know of any results and/or reports?
