I have one of those softeners. There is an upright canister about
five feet tall. Then there is a black container with a lid that
holds about four bags of coarse salt.

My doctor said to cut down on all salt. I was wondering just how
much salt is left in that after it has done its thing. We also have
a reverse osmosis unit, but I can't see how that could remove
dissolved salt, and if it does, I think I would have to change the
filter canisters weekly.
I know that I can take a pool water sample to my pool store, or I
think to Home Depot, and they will run an analysis on it.

Is there anywhere I can take this water sample, or buy test strips,
or does someone here know? Or know a site with the answer?


Thanks

Steve

With a properly maintained unit, very little salt is in the water. You
could ask your doctor, but it sounds like he said cut down and you would
likely cut out more salt by eliminating one Big Mac a week than the softened
water.

Also as noted by another writer, it is not uncommon to have un-softened
cold water at some or all sinks.
