Are there any reasons why i wouldn want to soften my water?
If you use salt to regenerate your softener, then a small amount of sodium is added to the water. For the majority of people this is not a problem. If you’re on a sodium restricted diet, we recommend either: * Leaving the cold side of your water supply at your kitchen faucet on hard water, or * Installing a separate faucet in the kitchen that dispenses un softened water for drinking and cooking, or * Use potassium chloride instead of salt to regenerate your softener, (which adds a small amount of potassium to your water!), or * Install a Reverse Osmosis unit at your kitchen sink, which will remove approximately 90-95% of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) that are suspended in your drinking water, including the residual salt from your softener!!
