Removing Salt from Water

September 16, 2006 at 1:42 pm · Also Found at Reverse Osmosis, Water Distillers

I would like to know if both the Reverse Osmosis and the Distilled Water Systems remove salt from the treated water.Has a test been conducted that I might see the results of water before treatment and after treatment?thanks.

The answer is Yes.

Both technologies, Reverse Osmosis and/or Water Distillation would remove the salt.

I’m not sure, but it appears that you do have a concern on water which is treated by a water softener, using sodium.

This is based on tests performed by the WQA (Water Quality Association).

The Water Quality Association is the international trade association representing the household, commercial, industrial, and small community water treatment industry.
