Question from what’s in my water
My husband and I live in an area with VERY hard water. We have been advised to buy a whole-home water softener to extend the life and usefulness of our fixtures and washing machine. We bought one from Sears and brought it home. I now have reservations about having it installed because it stinks. I cannot find out what sort of plastic it is made from, whether I need to be concerned about harmful chemicals leaching into my home’s water or how it will react to being filled with a potassium chloride solution. Does anyone have any helpful information?

I’m going to let some knowledgeable readers answer this.
Hello, I am sorry no one has posted an answer for you. I hope that you were able to find an answer for you and your family but also for ours. We have also moved into an area with very hard water and high chemical content. I share your concerns. I worry I am fixing one health burden with another.
This is not something I have researched. Readers, any suggestions?
