Common Water Treatment Myths

Myth No. 1 : You can soften water with a salt-free system.
Truth:  Salt free systems are anti-scale only. Truly soft water comes only through an ion exchange softener.

Myth No. 2 : By removing dissolved solids from water you will deprive your body of healthy nutrients like calcium and magnesium, prevalent in hard water.
Truth:  Eating a healthy diet of fruits & vegetables is far more beneficial than even the best of water.

Myth No. 3 : Softened water leaves a film on your skin because something has been added to your water.
Truth:  The slipperiness you feel with soft water is the natural oils of your skin coupled with the lack of soap scum left behind by hard water.    

Myth No. 4 : Softeners add extra salt to your water.
Truth:  Salt is not added to the water. Softeners exchange sodium ions in place of calcium or mineral ions at a very low level.
