I have a water softening system install in my house. There's a big tank in the garage that I routinely put "water softening pellets" in. I'm wondering how this is going to effect my partial water changes. I believe, in theory that my water hardness will never be exactly the same as the time before. Pellets dissolve over time, inturn raising the hardness. Maybe I'm mistaken. Does anyone know if this is, in fact going to effect my water changes, if so is there something I can do?

Hi,
I thought you might be interested in this article:

While this is a Niagara System most all of them work the
same way. You fill a tank with salt pellets, and over time
the salt exchanges with Ca and Mg and the result is softer
water. You can purchase the salt in very large plastic
bags from COSTCO or SAM's etc. When we worked for the
La Quinta Hotel chain, I'd buy the stuff by the pallet
full.

I live in the Rockies and our water is hard and contains
too much iron, so we will be soon installing a similar
system.
