The reason I got into the water business was that I wanted to do something with my life that would benefit other people's lives in a positive way. The world is full of people who live with unsafe water. A World-Class Invention, and it would be mine to better people's lives. Many people have discovered after the purchase of a water softener that their water tasted salty. Others found their plants would die if watered with salt-softened water.
Many people are on salt-restricted diets because of high blood pressure or other medical reasons.
As I became aware of this, I searched for a solution. The fact is, water softeners take out healthy minerals like Calcium and Magnesium needed for good health and replace them with Sodium. The harder the water, the more Sodium will be added. The salt brine or waste from the water softener has also been a big problem. The mineral Potassium is of critical importance to human health.
