5 Water Softener Alternatives : The Good and The Bad
                     5 Water Softener 
Alternatives : The Good and 
The Bad
  
    Electromagnetic Water 
Softeners
If you do end up buying an 
electromagnetic water 
softener and it doesn’t work, 
try testing the presence of an 
electromagnetic field with an 
app. Fun fact: iPhones and 
Androids already work as EMF 
detectors. Plenty of 
disgruntled buyers have done 
just that and found that, while 
there was an electromagnetic 
field, there was no reduction 
in scale.
  
Chelation (Citric Acid Water 
Softeners)
According to the University of 
Minnesota Water Resources 
Center, while citric acid water 
softening appears to be one 
of the cheapest water 
softener alternatives on the 
market, chelation hasn’t 
“been well proven, especially 
for higher hardness levels > 
8-10 grains per gallon.
  
Reverse Osmosis System
Reverse osmosis is a great way 
to get pristine, filtered water in 
your kitchen.
It can remove the following with 
ease: ions and metals like 
arsenic, fluoride, and sodium; 
organic chemicals like benzene; 
small particles like asbestos and 
protozoan cysts; and, finally, 
pesticides.
However, there are some 
drawbacks to reverse osmosis. 
Reverse osmosis can't remove 
dissolved gases like hydrogen 
sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is 
responsible for giving your water 
  a rotten egg smell (and flavor).
Potassium Chloride (Still Ion 
Exchange, Unfortunately)
This isn’t so much a water softener alternative as it is 
a sodium alternative. But, instead of using sodium in 
your water softener, you could buy potassium 
chloride. It’s a great way to treat hard water without 
salt (well, sodium chloride). This is unfortunately, 
however, still an ion exchange system -- even though 
salesmen might like to make you think otherwise.
