Residential water softening systems have become a staple for homeowners. Water softening systems can help the American family in many ways including a less corrosive buildup within the plumbing and water fixtures and reduced porcelain degeneration. Although a water softener for your family is a very enticing idea, please remember to investigate the pros and cons of everything you do for yourself and your family.
Soft water contains a large amount of sodium. Every time you take a shower, your body will absorb what is in that water. Residential water treatment is offered in different forms, some of which are environmentally safe, and some are not. Some are healthy for your family and some are not.
According to the Sanitation Districts' Board of Directors, effective January 1st, 2003 the installation of self-regenerating water softeners is now prohibited. So, what is a self-regenerating residential water softener? It is a system attached to the main water line, with access for the homeowner or renter to apply salt into an open-air hopper to remove and or replace hard deposits from water coming into a house and or a large dwelling. These open-air softening systems can spew salty brine from a release valve, into the sewer systems and the local water tables. These systems have been legally banned in many counties of California.
Closed systems, however, are allowed in all cities and counties. So, what is a closed residential soft water system? This particular system is any tank delivered to your home or dwelling that does not involve the expulsion of anything. In other terms, the salty brine or any other contaminant, is kept in the tank and taken away to be disposed of properly and safely. The areas of Santa Clarita, which include the cities of: Valencia, Newhall, and Castaic, have legally adopted this ideal since 2003. Since then, the sanitation districts in California 26 and 32 (The Santa Clarita Valley) are subject to a $1000 fine for non-compliance. Many other districts within in the state have legally adopted this ideal, making it a law.
