When hard water starts to cause problems to your dishwasher, washing machine and other kitchen appliances, it is only natural that you turn to water softener products and filters to get rid of lime-scale, and produce water that is gentle on your beloved domestic appliances. But what if you decided to install a water softener system that would soften water throughout your entire home? Would that soft water be safe to drink?
The consensus on this topic is that softened water does not pose any health risks for otherwise healthy individuals. However, consumers who are on a strictly low-sodium diet are advised to closely monitor the amount of sodium contained by the soft water they intend to consume.
