Question 1

Does salt-free conditioning actually work?

Accepted Answer

Yes — TAC (template-assisted crystallization) is proven to prevent 99%+ of scale formation. However, it conditions water rather than softening it, meaning it won't give you the "slippery" feel of softened water or reduce spotting on glass.

Question 2

Salt-free vs. traditional softener — which is better?

Accepted Answer

Traditional softeners remove hardness minerals entirely, giving the full soft-water experience. Salt-free conditioners prevent scale but don't remove minerals. If you want softer skin/hair and spot-free dishes, a traditional softener is the better choice. If you're eco-conscious or on a sodium-restricted diet, salt-free may be ideal.
