Frequently asked questions
1. Do I still use the same amount of soap in the dishwasher, clothes washer and showers now that I have a water softener?
No, the Water Quality Association states soft water can save up to 55% on detergent use. Start with using half the amount of
detergent previously used, this can be adjusted up or down based on preference. Soft water helps fabrics last longer, because
hardness minerals combined with soap can make fabric fibers brittle.
2. What is the health impact of drinking soft water? The sodium added to water by softening is a non-issue most of the time,
even for people on a sodium-restricted diet. One could soften water with up to 75 grains per gallon hardness with sodium chloride and
still be well within the US Food and Drug Administration’s labeling of a “Low Sodium” beverage. People on a sodium-restricted diet
should consult their physician.
3. Should I use soft water for my plants? Some plants may be sensitive to even minute amounts of sodium. We suggest using
hard water for watering plants, often a kitchen cold faucet is plumbed for hard water or the outside faucets are usually plumbed for hard
water. If not, you can place your softener on bypass and fill water containers at the closest sink. Water from a reverse osmosis system
can always be used to water plants.
4. Will water spots disappear now that I have soft water? Water spots caused by hardness scale will disappear with a functioning
water softener. However, other natural minerals dissolved in the water in high enough concentrations may cause spotting. These
mineral spots will be much easier to wipe away compared to hardness spotting.
5. Will soft water cause my water or ice cubes to look or taste different? Most people can tell the difference in taste between
hard and soft water, it is a personal preference. Ice cubes will appear the same, they may look cloudy due to air in water or dis-
solved minerals, and this will not change because now they are made with softened water. A reverse osmosis drinking water
system will provide clearer ice cubes.
