Water softeners add sodium, in proportion to the hardness of the water, not salt. Salt is sodium chloride. The amount that is added is small - typically much less than the recommended amount of sodium in your diet. It is really a non-issue for most people especially if they eat any processed food (which typically have large amounts of sodium). Regardless, if the small quantities of sodium is still a concern, use potassium chloride as a regenerate.

How about facts-- Not a Nova informercial?
