Whole Home Water Softening & Anti-Scale Systems

We strongly recommend using a pellet salt for your water softener. Roto-Rooter does not endorse any specific brand, but pellet softening salt can be found at most local grocery, hardware, and home improvement stores.

The main difference is salt and regeneration. Water softeners use salt to reduce hardness through a process called ion exchange. Anti-scale systems use media to prevent the formation of scale in your internal plumbing systems – no salt or chemicals required. Anti-scale systems are not water softeners.

Absolutely! According to a study commissioned by the Water Quality Association, untreated hard water typically halves the lifespan of water-using appliances. Water softeners and anti-scale systems improve the efficiency of all water-using appliances, both hot and cold.

Roto-Rooter offers water softeners built on one of the most reliable valve platforms in the industry and includes state-of-the-art programming to improve efficiency and save salt and water. Your Roto-Rooter expert will take the time to test the hardness of your water and ensure the system you purchase is right for the needs of you and your family.

Both softening systems are functionally the same. They are built on the same, reliable valve platform, feature state-of-the-art programming to help conserve salt and water, and deliver the same 45,000 gallon softening capacity. The primary difference is the size of the system. The Cabinet Whole House Water Softening System is designed for applications where the full-size unit will not fit, ensuring any size home can enjoy the benefits of softened water.

The Dual Media and 45K Whole House Softening Systems both provide the same softening performance and deliver the same 45,000 gallon softening capacity. In addition to softening, the Dual Media system offers whole house chlorine reduction for improved drinking water taste and odor at every tap.
