The Revolutionary Salt-Less Water Conditioner Alternative
The FUTURA salt-free, anti-scale water conditioner is a new advancement in water treatment technology that conditions water without the use of salt or corrosive chemicals. This system uses an advanced ceramic media that effectively attracts and neutralizes hard water properties without the need for regeneration, backwashing, or electricity. When water comes into contact with the catalytic surface of the media, hard water agents calcium (CaCO3) and magnesium become attached to the ceramic granules and are instantly converted into a scale resistant crystalline form. These crystals are harmless, neutral, heat resistant, and completely stable and will not attach to any surfaces like your pipes and heaters to cause lime deposits. When the crystals reach a size in the range of nano-meters (one billionth the size of a meter) they detach and are carried away by the water flow. These nano-crystals are relatively insoluble, effectively isolating hardness up to 25 grains/gal. (420 mg/L) from the water chemistry.
FUTURA's catalytic granules are non-sacrificial and are not consumed in the conversion process, thus resulting in its exceptional long life and durability. In effect, these systems provide many benefits such as reduced soap use, scale reduction, and cleaner clothes-without the troublesome maintenance, costs and pollution of salt-based water conditioners.

FUTURA Shipping Method
Our FUTURA systems are shipped in high quality double walled boxes with side cushions for extra protection. Since our systems are routinely shipped all over the world, we feel it is vital that the packaging be of top quality and no expense has been spared to ensure your system arrives safely in factory fresh condition.
Tips On Choosing A System:
To assure your highest satisfaction, please choose the right size (gpm) of the FUTURA system that at least matches your household peak demand flow rate. For example, if the most water you will use is to take a shower while doing your laundry and running the dishwasher simultaneously, then your peak demand will be (3+3+3=9) 9 gpm. This means our smallest FUTURA system, rated at 10 gpm, is sufficient for you.

Reviews
Really?
"On Sept 20 I sent an email with a question about installation. On Sept 25 I sent an email stating I was disappointed I had not received a response from the first email. ON Sept 27 I received an email asking for a review . Do you really want a review from me?"
COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY
"This does nothing to soften the water. One year later and all the faucets in the house are plugging up. If anything, I think this made things worse!"
Made a difference the first week
"I have had one of these on my radar for a while. As we remodel our current home, the theme is rubbed bronze (black) fixtures. That means even the slightest amount of hardness will leave white stains on the new fixtures. It has been about a month now, and I can assure you, the white buildup is starting to clear itself away. It's nice to know that if I clean it off myself, it will not come back. I did the install myself, and routed it so outside faucets do not pass through the filters. FYI, our citys hardness was somewhere around 8, and it still stained the black fixtures."
Still early, but so far so good.
"It was installed by the plumber last week and the water immediately lost the chlorine. I'm enjoying having water out of all my faucets now that is salt free and actually tasty. Still early to tell how it will fare over the long run, but I anticipate that it will function well based on my previous experience with APEC products (a subsidiary of Culligan I found out)."
2 drip
"Fairly easy to install but I was hooking it up to replace an old salt system. The 2 systems did not match up well and I stretched a little on the pipes. 2 small drips. I got some more pipe and better fittings to fix the hookups. I tried to rush it and keep the water on as much as possible. Wife will be out of town in 2 weeks so I can take my time and do it right then. I will test the water after and see how it is doing!!!"
Great System
"Excellent water purity and softening after changing out these APEC filters."
Good item
"We purchased this unit earlier in the month and have installed it we would recommend this union to anyone."
Very please to have installed this water condition
"I had this water conditioning system installed about two weeks ago in the garage and it works wonderfully. No backwashing no draining and no addition of sodium in the water. In fact there is no reason to buy bottled water."
Futura 10 Salt Free Water Conditioner
"Installed a month ago and we noticed the difference immediately. Top of the line but priced much less than others that don't do as much. Hated(!!!) buying heavy bags of salt at Lowe's every month and putting that into the environment ugh."
