Water softener types split into two camps, like salt-based softeners and salt-free conditioners, and they solve Henderson's 16–18 GPG hard water differently. As of 2026, at that range — squarely among the hardest municipal water in the country, sourced from Colorado River via Lake Mead — Henderson homes need to weigh true softening against lower-maintenance conditioning. Here's how the two approaches compare.
| Salt-Based SoftenerBest for Henderson | Salt-Free Conditioner | |
|---|---|---|
| Removes hardness minerals | Yes | No — crystallizes minerals instead |
| Best for 16–18 GPG water | Yes | Better suited to slightly/moderately hard water |
| Ongoing maintenance | Requires salt refills | No salt required |
| Water waste (regeneration) | Some, modern systems are efficient | None |
| Skin/hair softness benefit | Yes | Limited |
