Gail,

You might check to see if your kitchen cold water faucet is softened.
Frequently this is not the case.

Absolutely. You might as well use sea water. Even the Potassium Chloride
softeners are touchy (we tried that before we went to RO). Kenni

I read in our paper today that you should not water orchids from the tap
if you have a water softener. Have others found this to be true? Thanks in
advance.
