| Feature | Protector One by AlkaVida | Typical Competitor System |
|---|---|---|
| Resin Type | 10% Black Cross‑Linked Resin | Low‑grade Yellow Resin |
| Chlorine Reduction | Catalytic carbon + chlorine‑resistant resin | No carbon media; resin breaks down in chlorine |
| Control System | Power‑outage safe, intuitive programming | Prone to reset errors and malfunctions |
| Maintenance | Self‑cleaning, no manual servicing | Frequent clogging or resin deterioration |
| Overflow Protection | Safety float valve built‑in | Often missing or unreliable |
| Water Quality | Softens + reduces odor, taste, chlorine | Only softens water; no chlorine reduction |
| Manufacturing | Made in the USA | Often imported or private‑labeled overseas |
| Total Cost of Ownership | Longer lifespan + less salt use = savings | Shorter resin life = more frequent replacements |

Glassware Spotting Test — With vs. Without a Water Softener
Quick side‑by‑side demo comparing untreated hard water to softened water on glassware.
Without a softener: spots and calcium hardness build up, clouding your dishes and making cleanup harder.
With a softener: the glass stays clear with no calcium deposits, helping prevent ongoing erosion of the surface.
