	Howstuffworks "How does a water softener work?"
		The solution to hard water is either to filter the water by distillation or reverse osmosis to remove the calcium and magnesium, or to use a water softener.
		Filtration would be extremely expensive to use for all the water in a house, so a water softener is usually a less costly solution.
		Salt is sodium chloride, so the water softener mixes up a very strong brine solution and flushes it through the zeolite or beads (this is why you load up a water softener with salt).

	Water Softeners: Water softener faqs and info
		Water Softener: Water softener systems reduce the hardness of water by replacing the hardness minerals - calcium and magnesium ions (other cations will be removed as well) - with another ion, frequently sodium.
		Water is considered slightly hard if it has between 1-3.5 grains per gallon (gpg) of hardness minerals, moderately hard 3.5-7gpg, hard 7-10.5gpg, and very hard 10.5+ gpg.
		Used extensively in both water and air filtration, GAC works on the principle of adsorption, where substances in water are attracted to, and adhere to the surface of the carbon.

	Water Softener
		Water softeners work by a process called ion-exchange which removes the troublesome calcium and magnesium and replaces or "exchanges" it for sodium or potassium which do not form hardness scale nor soap curd.
		Some people are concerned about the sodium they might ingest in softened water, but to put it into perspective, if you were to drink a quart of softened water in San Antonio (with 18 grains per gallon of hardness) you would be getting the same amount of sodium as in a slice of bread.
		These systems typically produce a water that is a good as, and in some cases better than, bottled water.

		If the capacity of the water softener is 40,000 grain, and you have 10 grains per gallon of hardness, then your softener would regenerate after 4,000 gallons of water had passed through it.

	Water Softener Pros & Cons \| Ask MetaFilter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Because if you didn't have any complaints about the local water before, and you haven't found the softened water to be so different as to be life-changing, I say not to bother.
		If taste is the major issue, you could have a plumber branch a cold water pipe from upstream of the softener to a separate, drinking-water-only spigot in the kitchen and to the fridge (if you have an icemaker).
		Now that I'm in my own place on unsoftened, city water, I can't stand the feel of the softened water in the shower when I visit them but I never noticed when I lived there so the gross-feeling-on-your-skin thing might be something you get used to.

		For that reason most homes that use a water softener have a tap connected to the inlet to the softener that goes to a separate faucet at the sink - ours goes to the refrigerator which has a built in water dispenser.
		There is an ion exchange, that is the sodium ions on the surface of the beads are replaced by the calcium ions in the water.
