Kory I used whole house magnets on my mom's house. They clamp around the incoming water line, they use no power and they will actually clean the calcium from the pipes which leads to the only draw back I found with them you have to clean out the aerators because the calcium breaks up and will clog them. NO MORE SALT. I just did a search on line for water softener and run across the site for the magnets. If I remember they work off of the Reverse Osmosis Theory. I believe they ran about $300.00. She lived in Jefferson County. Hope this helps.
