How does a water softener system differ from drinking water filtration systems?
Water softener systems are not designed to improve the healthfulness of water, but rather to decrease dissolved minerals and reduce scaling of pipes and appliances. These systems typically use sodium charged exchange media that releases small amounts of sodium ions and removes minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron. Filtration systems are designed to specifically remove harmful contaminants and leave in the natural minerals.
