Softened water contains a very low amount of sodium. If you are concerned about sodium intake, use Potassium Chloride salt instead of sodium chloride salt, drink hard water, or process the water further with a reverse osmosis purifier.

Sea Water to Fuel, it’s becoming more affordable
Navy researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Materials Science and Technology Division, demonstrate proof-of-concept of novel NRL technologies developed for the recovery of carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2) from seawater and conversion to a liquid hydrocarbon fuel.
Soft Water is Good for Heart Health?
Sodium bicarbonate in this bottled water is given credit for the health benefit…Water softening through ion exchange removes inorganic Calcium (and other metallic ions – depending on the resin) from the water and leaves sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate as byproducts of the ion exchange softening process.
So, based on this report one might logically deduce that ion exchange soft water is good for your heart health…very interesting indeed.

Residential Water Softener Installation and Startup Procedures
Excessively low or high water pressure are two of the most frequent reasons for poor performance and equipment failure. Water softeners perform the very best when exposed to static pressure in the range of 50 – 75 psi.
