Water Softener and Whole House Water Filter Confusion

Posted: 10/06/10
Written by:
Mark Harris
 
Most people confuse the term water softener system with water filter system.  A water softener only replaces healthy minerals with sodium ions, and does nothing to remove chlorine and organic contaminants.  Yet some people have always had a water softener on their house, or they are confused by the misinformation that has been propagated for years by water softener companies.  This is understandable, as most people do not have the time to research water systems, and many simply do what their parents and friends have always done.   This is why you will see the reference to “water softener alternative” on our...

A water softener is a water treatment device that helps to reduce the amount of calcium and magnesium ions in water by replacing those ions with double the amount of sodium ions.  But is that all they do?  Yep, that’s all.   Why do people ruin their tap water by removing healthy minerals and replacing them with salt?
