Thus places like your hot water heater are critical. In addition, utilizing soft water to say water your yard, is not a good idea. Also, drinking soft water is not good because the sodium content is increased. The RO will help solve this problem for drinking purposes, and the soft water will help extend the life of the RO membranes.
