Clack Water Softeners

Clack Softeners has three main objectives for common water problems:

• Prevent scale build-up and iron staining
• Deliver peak performance after install
• Move beyond the trend of disposable water softeners

The Clack water softener is designed for simplicity. This reliable softener features a non-corrosive tank, valve and by-pass. Available with either a time clock or a water meter, the water softener line offers several sizes to ideally meet a customer’s application requirements.

It’s easy to use and understand, with an uncomplicated design that doesn’t need constant maintenance or care. The Digital Control Display will show the softener’s progress as it advances through the cycles. The control valve uses an industry leading powerful motor drive that doesn’t include screws or other components that could malfunction or break and it’s also corrosion-resistant, making it reliable and durable.

Churyk water softener series is equipped with the option of either a time clock or a water meter. The time clock allows the water cycles to be scheduled, while the water meter will provide a digital projection of the expected water usage, which is based on the amount of water that is typically used. Homeowner’s have the option of using salt or potassium depending on personal choice.

Water Descalers (Saltless Systems) Vs Water Softeners

The simple differences between the two options are that one prevents the buildup of minerals such as calcium and the other scales or slows down the buildup. There’s more to that than the answer given but that’s the gist of how those two systems work.

While calcium buildup is unavoidable, by using a water softener, it will eliminate most traces of calcium and other minerals by changing the composition of the chemicals in your water. On the other hand, if you opt to go with water descaler, it will only scale or slow down the accumulation of minerals and calcium in your pipes. They are two completely different methods used for different purposes.

Salt-Free Water Conditioners/Descalers create hardness crystals by encapsulating minerals, but leave minerals present in the water. The crystals won’t adhere to surfaces so you will see a reduction in scale build up.  Descalers do not affect the water composition, quality or taste.

The main benefit you receive from a salt-free system is the maintenance-free aspect and the obviously lack of salt use. However, it does not offer the same reduction and removal benefits of a water softener.

Salt-Based Water Softeners will give you more of the “slick” feeling of the water in the shower and you will notice the soap creating more bubbles. The reason and what many water experts will tell you is “this is the feeling of being clean.” This is due to the minerals being taken from the water and no longer being present to dry your skin in addition to lack of soap scum residue.

Softeners provide better tasting water, have less minerals and also promotes healthier skin. The impurities found in water are the leading cause of skin problems such as acne and rashes.

Other benefits you’ll see include keeping brighter colors in your clothes with the abrasive minerals no longer present. Is your skin feeling dry? Are you getting scale build-up on shower doors/glassware? Are your clothes dingy? Do you want to use less soap? A salt water softener would be your better choice.

In addition, water softeners reduce sediment and turbidity, remove calcium and manganese, reduce lead and iron, eliminate spotting on dishes and limescale buildup on fixtures and improve water quality. Descalers do not.
