Question

What is a disadvantage of softened water? Select one:
a. It is not potable
b. It leaves mineral spots when it evaporates. c. It creates a buildup of minerals in boilers and water heaters.
d. It makes it hard for the soap to lather. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The major disadvantage to softening water is the potential health risks for people that might be on low sodium diets. The exchange of hardness minerals for sodium adds 7.5 milligrams per quart for each gpg of hardness removed. In addition, calcium and magnesium are eliminated from the homeowner's diet.
