The water they produce feels slippery, slimy and unnatural. The added sodium to soft water also makes it unsafe for lawns, plants and fish. Water Softeners dump hundreds of pounds of sodium and salt brine into waste water streams, making water reclamation or reuse impossible. This is why self regenerating water softeners have been banned by law in many communities...

Nearly 900 million people, however, are not so lucky, and a significant number of these people are children. LifeSource Water Systems is acutely aware of this unfortunate fact, which is why we work with the House of Children project in Peru to help supply clean drinking water. We’re not the only ones working towards a brighter future – the Unicef Tap Project is on a mission to cut the number of people without water in half by 2015. Unicef...

Water is earth's most precious resource and all of us need to concentrate on water preservation.  There are...

(Part 1) Posted: 10/26/10 Written by: Cherie Harris   I have been asked this question frequently, as more and more cities throughout the US are banning the use of salt based water softeners.  One of these cities is Santa Clarita, CA.  The Santa Clara River Chloride Reduction Ordinance of 2008, approved as Measure S by voters on November 4, 2008, required the removal of all residential automatic water softeners by June 30, 2009. Santa Clarita businesses have been prohibited from using automatic water softeners since 1961. The goal of the Santa Clarita Valley Sanitation District is to reduce the amount of chloride entering the Santa Clara River, which flows through...

This deceptive promotion of environmentally friendly products is known as greenwashing.

Water softeners require bags of salt added to it, which means that tap water, is stripped of essential minerals,( calcium and...
