did you really mean it to sound that way? Ingrid

Ingrid...I went looking for some information on this because my first
thought was that it was BS. I was shocked to find that what you are
saying
is basically true.

Not sure what you mean...so let me re-state. When I first read that water
softeners allowed salt into the water, I thought, "That can't be right. That
sounds like an old wives tale." So I decided to look it up...lo and behold
it is true. The water softeners exchange sodium chloride for magnesium
chloride and a few other "hard" minerals. Anyway, I thought I should post a
follow up to your message, backing up the truth, in case there were any
other doubters like myself.

Is that clearer?
