A friend bought a house that is only 2 or 3 years old, with a well.

She has a softener, but the water still leaves deposits on the shower
door, and on glasses after they're washed. And at the same time the
water doesn't taste good. (In her previous home she drank water from
the tap, after it went through some filter that screwed to the kitchen
faucet.)
...

she needs to trace the lines and make sure that the
kitchen sink is not treated/softened water. it should
not be.


I've never heard this before.

Does anyone else agree with this?

drinking treated/softened water is not good
for you (added salts or other minerals). there should
be either a RO unit or an untreated line for drinking
water or the plumber was on crack.

Thanks.

I just got an email from her and she says instead of drinking water,
she's going to drink rum. So her problem is solved.


Just kidding.
