Q: How often will my water system need to be serviced?

Q: What is the best type of salt to use in the system?
A: We recommend using any brand name of salt that is labeled for water softeners or solar salt in the crushed form. Don't use the pellet form because it will cake together and stop your system from working.

Q: How much sodium is added to the water by the softening process?
A: That depends on the hardness of the original water. This table shows the additional amount of sodium that will be added to your water.

Initial Hardness	Sodium Added
1.0 grains per gallon	7.5 milligrams/quart
5.0 grains per gallon	37.5 milligrams/quart
10.0 grains per gallon	75.0 milligrams/quart
20.0 grains per gallon	150.0 milligrams/quart

As a comparison,one slice of white bread has 161 milligrams of sodium; one cup of milk has 127;one tablespoon of catsup has 204.
