Question from jiwaskow
I think I posted a while back but I can’t find the post. We need a water softener for very hard well water. I’m concerned about the salts they add, but potassium is so expensive. Is there an alternative?
Likewise – I’m concerned about the plastic material being exposed to my water. Know any non-plastic ones?
We’ll also need a reverse osmosis under the sink. Wondering if anyone has found the safest again in terms of plastic exposure, etc.
Thanks
Jill
Debra’s Answer
I live in a very hard water area and have an EarthCore Water Conditioner. It restructures water to make it softer, so there is no need to add salt.
I’ve had mine for almost ten years and it just keeps working year after year.
I don’t recommend reverse osmosis water filters because they make the water too acid.
You can see all the water filters I recommend at Debra’s List: Water: Water Filters
