Socialism in Action…Spying on Softener Owners
I read this article today and I suppose I should be shocked, but I guess I’m not…just very, very disappointed.
A California sanitation district is spying on, and investigating tax-paying citizens in a misguided effort to eliminate water softening systems. – Talk about a violation of basic human rights! It certainly boggles the mind that this actually happens in the United States of America. What’s next, door-to-door anti smoking inspections? – Can you say “Papers please”?
The misguided anti-softener agenda continues in southern California and it appears that in spite of evidence to the contrary, certain legislators choose politics of emotion instead of logic and reason. They continue their unwarranted persecution of water softener owners.
Owning a water softener reduces the use of harmful chemical cleaners that are laced with countless toxic chemicals. Water softeners have been shown to prolong the life of household appliances like water heaters while reducing net energy consumption.
Old water softeners using outdated daytimer and “blind-metering” technology can indeed be wasteful of salt, but when one considers new water softeners like the Patriot Twin Analyst that incorporate resin saturation sensors, Evertech software, twin alternating tanks, and upflow regeneration technologies it is mere foolishness to dare overlook the actual environmental benefit of owning a water softener – It makes fiscal and environmental sense.
