What it does for your water
The The HVAC Genius NS3 Salt-Free Water Conditioner is a salt-free TAC conditioner.
Salt-free systems don't remove calcium or magnesium, so the water won't feel softer and a hardness test will read the same. Makers describe them as reducing scale.
From the listing: model NS3; material Resin.
The listing gives dimensions of 10 in (D) x 10 in (W) x 10 in (H), a shipping weight of 7 lb and funnel, hose bib fitting assembly, lubricant packet, natursoft media, o-ring in the box.
