A 40 pound bag of salt will typically produce about 6,000 gallons of softened water... a 40 pound bag of salt costs about $4.50. Actually that same $4.50 worth of salt can save the average household about $45 worth of cleaning products each month... not to mention the time and effort of cleaning, and will save more than 6,000 gallons of water each month (mostly hot water) because softened water is just that much more efficient at cleaning. Softened water is kind to your plumbing too, will save untold thousands in plumbing bills over the life of the water softener (about 20 years). If one lives in a hard water locale *not* having a water softener is VERY expensive. This was about gardening Shelly, not plumbing. Toxification of the landscape and all that.
