I've never experienced one of these creatures, but just curious.

Yes, it puts a small amount of salt in the water. You can't hardly notice
it though. When the water is treated by the softener, Calcium and Magnesium
ions are replaced by Sodium ions.

In the case of someone who is advised by their cardiologist to monitor
sodium intake...what are the numbers?

I had this discussion with a friend recently who is advised to watch her
sodium...my thoughts are that the salt added to the water is minimal...and
that for drinking, she might filter or buy "canned water". But my thinking
has no numbers to back it up.

Thanks.
Curious too!
