Hello peeps. First time, long time. Love the site:thumbsup:

Searched on the subject of water softners with varying degrees of imput. Some pro's on here say it is a good thing, others say it is bad. I have well water with a professional softner system and would prefer not bring water home from an off site supply.

I do understand the process of softened water and can't comprehend of why it would be bad as the salt never hits the tap....

Pharmacan said: "A water softner runs your water through a substance called "zeolite" which attract the minerals in the water and hold them. Every now and then the zeolite needs to be scrubbed with brine (salt water) to remove the minerals from the zeolite. The final step of the scrubbing process is that the zeolite tank is back flushed to remove all impurities, including the brine."

while Weedhound, darn cute dog BTW, said: "You can try it but they tend to raise the sodium content of the water while removing the minerals you want such as calcium and magnesium which will cause deficiencies so water softeners generally aren't reccomended for hydro growing"

Who is correct???
