Water softeners are effective at combating the negative effects of hard water, such as dry skin, dingy laundry, stained sinks, and plumbing and appliance damage. Water softeners remove the calcium and magnesium ions that cause hard water. These minerals are replaced with salt, resulting in smooth, gentle water.

Because of the softening process involves the use of blocks or bags of salt, some people wonder if softened water is safe to drink. However, the softener salt is only used to soften the resin that interacts with the water; no salt enters the water supply.

The sodium level rises in softened water. Sodium is not synonymous with salt (sodium chloride). According to the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI), water with a sodium content of up to 200ppm is safe to drink. Unless your water is exceptionally hard to begin with, the softened version is unlikely to exceed this limit.

Is softened water safe to drink?

Is softened water unsafe b?ecause of the addition of salt and the removal of calcium and magnesium?

The amount of sodium added to tap water by softening is too small for most healthy adults to be harmful or cause any health concern. It is safe to drink and has no effect on the taste of the water.

While it may be of concern to people with high blood pressure who must follow a low-sodium diet, there are several options available to them. It is possible, for example, to separate the drinking and cooking water from the system while still using the softened water for cleaning, bathing, and laundry. If you have a sodium imbalance, you should consider making dietary changes, such as cutting back on salty processed foods and table salt, to counteract the health effects of the salt added during the water-softening process.

Drinking water, according to the World Health Organization, may contribute to calcium and magnesium intake. Recognizing these as necessary elements for the body, some people wonder if removing them from the water supply will result in a deficiency or generalized mineral imbalance. However, reintroducing these elements into your diet can be as simple as taking a multivitamin or calcium or magnesium supplements.

The bottom line is that water-softening systems are completely safe. Most people can drink either hard or soft water without experiencing any adverse effects.

Also, installing a water softening system in your home can significantly improve your quality of life. It helps you have healthier skin and hair by extending the life of your appliances. In terms of overall health, a system like the NETSOL WATER  water refiner has no negative effects and may even improve your health.
