[1] Water softener takes the hard calcium and magnesium out of hard water. [2] It does so by replacing them with potassium and sodium. That's supposed to make it easier for plant cells to absorb water and to flush out toxins. And that's supposed to eliminate that hard build-up because the culprits - calcium and magnesium - are no longer. [3] The problem is that soft water can have salt build-up. And some say that all the salt in soft water can dehydrate plant cells, and make them ever water-needier.
