Salt-softened water tastes bad, it can be harmful to your health, harmful to the environment and it can be harmful to your plumbing. If you have heart or kidney disease, are on a sodium restricted diet, or even if you are perfectly healthy, a softener no salt may be just what you are looking for. In the softening (salt) process of water, calcium bicarbonate, a naturally occurring chemical compound in “Hard” water, is exchanged for the sodium (salt), which ends up in your drinking water, bath, shower and the environment.
Avoid the harmful affects of salt in your water – Get a Softener No Salt!
The amount of salt (sodium) in your water can increase to as much as 100 milligrams per litre (about a quart) when softening with salt, according to a report in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. That is why a Softener No Salt is so important.
The American Heart Association states, “people on salt restricted diets should avoid home softeners or make sure the ones they install don’t use sodium.” Studies also show that water softened with sodium (salt), dissolves lead from solder in plumbing. This means that when you are bathing in salt-softened water, there may be toxic lead (along with the sodium) absobed into your body, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida Institute of Technology.
Peter Censky stated, before retiring as the Executive Director of the Water Quality Association, “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.”
