How much sodium is added to the water by the softener?
That depends on the hardness of the original
water. This table shows the additional amount of sodium consumed
by drinking one quart of softened water.
Initial Hardness Sodium Added 1.0 grains per gallon 7.5 milligrams/quart
5.0 grains per gallon 37.5 milligrams/quart
10.0 grains per gallon 75.0 milligrams/quart
20.0 grains per gallon 150.0 milligrams/quart
40.0 grains per gallon 300.0 milligrams/quart
As a comparison, one slice of white bread has 161 milligrams
of sodium; 3/4 cup of canned baked beans = 1130 milligrams;
1 tablespoon of catsup = 204 milligrams; 1 medium frankfurter
= 610 milligrams; and 1 cup of whole milk = 127 milligrams.
Even a common Alka Seltzer tablet contains 532 milligrams of
sodium. However, if you suffer from hypertension or are on a
sodium restricted diet, you should consult your doctor about
the proper water for drinking.
