If yoo're an environmentalist,
you might be concerned about flushing
all that salt into the water
whenever the unit recharges.


the sodium in softened drinking water
can be harmful to your health.

If you do decide on a softener,
just soften the cold water that feeds your water heater.

Hi

I have been researching water softeners and was able to find many benefits
but no real negatives other than initial cost, installation,or maintenance.

Any information good/bad would be helpful. Thanks.
