Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hi, salt (sodium chloride) and Potasium chloride )(used as salt substitutes) both could be bad for you. We have a tradional water softner coming in from the well, then we have an RO unit at the sink and also one in the basement with a storage tank. The RO unit (reverse osmosis) produces clear clean water and removes all chemicals. it may be worth just getting and RO unit installed somewhere in your house. (we have the big one in the basement for use with my fiances tropical fish) Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
