Annual salt savings after eliminating traditional water softener

Most hotels and resorts in Guanacaste, northern Costa Rica, depend on ground water wells for their domestic water supply. To reduce scale and hardness, they use traditional water softening treatment with salt.
However, even with softening, many resorts experience poor results with extensive scaling of ice maker machines and domestic hot water piping.
