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


Please go back and read paragraph 2 of my post.

Steve

It will remove the salt and that salt goes down the drain line. You
know about the drain line?


I'm sorry. In paragraph two, I stated that I DID have a RO system in
addition to the softener. I guess you missed that.

TWICE!

Why do you think I wasn't responding to the R/O comment?

R/O DOES remove salt. It does not plug up the membrane because the
blocked salt goes out the drain line. Perhaps you should read the book
that came with your R/O and you wouldn't be asking us about the salt.
BTW they use bigger R/O systems to desalinate sea water so the small
amount your water softener puts in is no problem.


Sorry, now I am really confused. I stated originally I had an RO unit in
addition to a softener. You stated I needed to look into getting a RO unit.

Must be too much salt clogging up my brain.
