What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Salt-Free Water Conditioner (Scale Reduction System)?
A salt-free water conditioner is a system designed to change how hardness minerals behave, rather than removing them from the water like a traditional softener. Depending on the technology, it may:
Use template-assisted crystallization (TAC) or similar media to convert minerals to a form that’s less likely to stick and form scale
Help reduce new scale deposits on fixtures, glass, and inside plumbing and water heaters
Operate without salt, brine tanks, or regeneration cycles
You’ll still technically have “hard water,” but it’s often easier on surfaces and equipment, with less visible buildup and easier cleanup.

Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Look for scale on shower glass, faucets, and around the water heater.
Decide whether you want scale reduction only, or to discuss additional filtration as well.
Check where your main water shutoff and water heater are located.
Take a couple of photos of your plumbing near the water heater or main line if possible.
Think about whether you’re comparing this to a traditional softener or replacing an existing unit.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about salt-free water conditioner installation (scale reduction systems); tell us your home size and main hard water complaints.
Common Situations Where Salt-Free Conditioners Make Sense
You want less scale on fixtures and glass, but don’t want salt-based softening.
You prefer lower maintenance—no salt bags or regeneration cycles.
Space is limited and you want a simpler tank or cartridge-based solution.
You’re concerned about salt discharge from traditional softeners.
You’re already planning other filtration and want to add scale control to the design.
Water Usage & Plumbing Layout Review
We review your home size, number of bathrooms, and water use, then inspect your main water entry, water heater, and available space to find the best installation point.
System Selection & Placement Planning
We recommend a properly sized salt-free conditioner based on flow rates and hardness, and plan inlet/outlet connections, bypass options, and service access so media or cartridges can be changed when needed.
Tie-In to Main Water Line & Bypass Setup
We shut off the water, safely cut into the main line, and install valves and a bypass configuration, allowing you to take the conditioner offline without shutting down the whole house.
Conditioner Installation & Secure Connections
We install the conditioner tank or housing, make proper water line connections, and secure the system so it’s stable, accessible, and aligned with manufacturer and code requirements.
Startup, Flushing & Performance Check
We flush the system per manufacturer guidelines, check for leaks and proper flow, and confirm water is moving correctly through the conditioner.
Homeowner Walkthrough & Maintenance Guidance
We explain how the technology works, what to expect in terms of scale reduction, and how and when to replace media or cartridges. We also show you bypass operation and basic system checks.
What’s Included
A typical salt-free water conditioner installation (scale reduction) may include:
On-site evaluation of your plumbing layout and hard water issues
Recommendation and placement plan for the conditioner unit
Tie-in to the main water line with bypass/isolation valves
Installation and secure mounting of the conditioner (and any housings)
Startup, flushing, and system performance checks
Homeowner orientation on expectations, maintenance, and media replacement
(Exact scope may vary based on system type, access, and whether filtration is also installed.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Total cost depends on:
System size and style: Simple cartridge-style vs larger media-based tanks.
Installation location: Easy-access garage vs tighter mechanical spaces or side yards.
Existing plumbing conditions: Clean, accessible main line vs older or more complex piping that needs extra work.
Optional add-ons: Sediment or carbon pre-filters, additional valves, or combo setups.
We’ll give you a clear written estimate before any work starts and outline what’s included, what’s optional, and expected install timing (many standard jobs are completed the same day).
Insurance & Claims Help
Salt-free conditioners are usually planned home upgrades, not insurance items—but past leaks or corrosion in the install area may involve your policy.
On our side, we can:
Document any existing leaks, corrosion, or previous installation issues we find while working.
Provide itemized invoices and estimates that separate repair work from new upgrade work.
Answer plumbing-related questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor if water damage has occurred.
Your insurance company and policy always determine what’s covered; we simply provide clear plumbing documentation.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Salt-free conditioners are helpful, but it’s important to know their limits:
They don’t “soften” water in the traditional sense—hardness minerals remain, but scale formation may be reduced.
They won’t fully remove existing heavy scale already inside older piping and equipment.
Some very hard water users may still prefer a conventional softener feel, especially for skin, hair, and soap lather.
Additional filtration may still be needed for sediment, chlorine, taste/odor, or specific contaminants.
We’ll be clear about what you can expect from a salt-free conditioner and when a softener or combo system might be a better fit for your goals.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant installations: All tie-ins and supports installed per Nevada plumbing code and manufacturer instructions.
Quality valves and fittings: We use serviceable, durable valves and unions to make future cartridge or media changes easier.
Neat, accessible layout: Units are mounted and piped with future maintenance and clear labeling in mind.
Plain-language explanations: We explain in simple terms how your system works and how to care for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a salt-free conditioner the same as a softener?
No. A softener removes hardness minerals, while most salt-free conditioners change how minerals behave to help reduce scale formation—but hardness is still present.
Will my water feel different?
You may see less scale and easier cleaning, but the water often doesn’t feel as “silky” as with a traditional softener.
Do I need electricity or a drain line?
Many salt-free systems are non-electric and don’t require a drain, but it depends on the specific model. We’ll explain requirements for the system we install.
How often does the media or cartridge need to be changed?
It varies by system, water quality, and usage. We’ll provide recommended intervals and can help with ongoing service if you like.
Can I add a salt-free conditioner to existing filtration?
Often, yes. We can integrate a conditioner with existing filters or a new combo system.
