Water softened with salt tastes bad, it is harmful to the environment, it can be harmful to your plumbing, and most importantly, it can be harmful to your health. If you have kidney disease, heart disease, if you are on a sodium restricted diet, or even if you are perfectly healthy, a salt free water softener may be just the solution for your good health. When water is softened with salt, calcium bicarbonate, which is a naturally occurring chemical compound in “Hard” water, is exchanged for the sodium (salt), which ends up in your bath, shower, drinking water and goes down your drain into the environment.
A Salt Free Water Softener is the way to avoid the harmful affects of salt in your water!
The water sodium content in your home can increase to as much as 100 milligrams per litre (that’s about a quart) when you are softening with salt. That is why a salt free water softener is so important, according to a report in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
“People on salt restricted diets should avoid home softeners or make sure the ones they install don’t use sodium.” as stated by The American Heart Association. Many studies also show that water softened with salt, dissolves the lead from solder in your plumbing. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida Institute of Technology, this can result in toxic lead (along with the sodium) getting into the water when you are bathing in salt-softened water.
Before retiring as the Executive Director of the Water Quality Association, Peter Censky stated, “Now I’m going to make some predictions about the water industry…actually, most don’t even qualify as predictions – they are already happening. Clock-timer water softeners for household use will cease to be sold. The ecology movement will drive them out of water poor states, and water rich states as well.”
The solution for your health, the environment and your plumbing is a salt free water softener!
