I have one of those softeners. There is an upright canister about five

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

If you are really concerned, get an R/O for your drinking water.


Please go back and read paragraph 2 of my post.
