The True Standard
For the past century, salt-based water softeners have universally been used to treat hard water. With advanced technology, the Sterling Water Conditioner has replaced out dated salt-based water softeners with the safe, effective, environmentally friendly solution for hard water problems. |
|
| Safe |
- Independently tested and approved the ETL as compliant with UL 979 and UL 73.
|
- Safe for use in drinking water and complies with the toxicity requirements in NSF 61.
|
- Sterling conditioned water can be used on household and garden plants.
|
- Independently tested an approved by IAPMO Testing & Services as an effective treatment for hard water problems.
|
- Calcium carbonate, the dissolved mineral compound that causes hard water, does not form scale build up in pipes, fixtures and surfaces.
|
|
Environmentally Friendly |
- Energy and water conservation enhances home value.
|
- Uses no salt or other additives and does not waste water through regeneration or backwashing.
|
- Approximately 250,000,000,000 gallons of fresh water are contaminated each year in the U.S. as a result of backwashing media regenerated by salt-based water softeners.
|
- High levels of chlorides have led to salt-based water softener bans across the United States.

Homeowners can expect the following benefits from a Sterling Water Conditioner
- Continuous laundering of clothes in hard water reduces the life of the clothing.
|
- The Sterling Water Conditioner removes scale and scum, prolonging the life of dishwashers, washing machines and bath and kitchen fixtures.
|
- Hard water drops from dish and window washing can be easily removed.
|
- Sterling water can be safely used on household and garden plants.
|
- Using a Sterling Water Conditioner will increase the efficiency of ice makers, reducing the problems of sticking, which causes ice reduction and ice sliding resistance, and flooding, which causes constant leakage.
|
- When used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system, a Sterling Water Conditioner provides clean, pure drinking water.
|
- A Sterling Water Conditioner is specifically engineered to only operate when water flows. For the Conditioner to run for an hour a day would add approximately 15 cents to the monthly electric bill. A Sterling Water Conditioner uses the same amount of electricity as a 25-watt light bulb.

|
Did You Know? |
- According to the U.S. Geological Survey, 85% of the United States has hard water.
|
- The average American uses 90 gallons of water per day.
|
- The Sterling Conditioner is the first to pass the anti-scale testing and performance requirements set forth in IAPMO's IGC-91.
|
- A study conducted by New Mexico State University demonstrated that hard water scale build up can reduce a water heaters efficiency by 29%.
|
- With a salt-based water softener, sodium is added to the water at a ratio of 7.8 mg/L for each grain of hardness treated. Chloride is also added to regenerated water at the same ratio.
|
- The Sterling Water Conditioner retains natural calcium without the addition of sodium.
|
- Across the United States, traditional salt-based water softeners are being banned due to hazardous chloride discharge. The Sterling Water Conditioner utilizes no chlorides, which need to be discharged.
|
- One percent of the Earth's water is usable to humans; the remaining 99% is salt water and fresh water held up in icebergs. The Conditioner saves usable fresh water wasted in regenerating salt-based water softeners.
