4. Debunking the Myths About Drinking Softened Water

Debunking the "Salty Water' Myth

There’s a common myth — even among professionals in my own industry — that softened water tastes salty because we use salt in water softeners.

I’ve even heard some very knowledgeable people mistakenly call it “salted water.”

So let’s set the record straight, once and for all:

There is no salt in softened water!

Salt is used inside the softener to clean the system, but it never ends up in your drinking water.

What you get is simply softer, smoother water that can taste slightly sweeter (because there is no chalk in the water) — not a glass of saltwater!

Why Is There So Much Mis-information Out There? 

The simple answer? PROFIT!

Some companies create fear and doubt in customers’ minds to sell products that don’t truly work.  

And lately, we’ve seen a growing trend where well-known celebrities lend their names to these “miracle” solutions on social media — often without fully understanding the facts.  It might boost sales, but it creates even more confusion for customers trying to make an informed choice.

The good news is, the truth is simple — and once you know it, it’s easy to see through the noise.
