Water Softner System....Good or Bad?

[stinkyattic]

I called my water softener company yesterday to ask about this and he assured me that the amount of sodium left in the water is so small that is negligable..

Sodium is not the only salt you need to worry about. .... For an ion-exchange to work, the ion has to exchange with SOMETHING... I'm guessing Potassium,

Okay so there's little SODIUM... and 'negligible' is all relative. You gotta get an actual ppm on the concentration of remaining salts.

That pH is too high and will have to be brought down with pH down before use.

edit: are sensilights and jst3z the same person btw?
