Is water softener the same as salt?
There are many reasons for a water softener not to us salt. For example: - The water softener is bypassed (so no water going through it) or switched off. - The water softener is not metering water consumption properly. - The valve is jammed or broken. - There is an air leak in the brine draw mechanism. Which one is most likely will depend on which make and model of water softener you have. If you have an engineering mindset and have a good fault-finding guide, you can try working through these. Otherwise it is time to call in a good water softener engineer. Julian Hobday of KindWater
Why does eating salty foods makes us thirsty?
When the body has too much salt in it, the kidneys will excrete the excess salt into the urine, and they will also increase the amount of urine produced, in order to more easily flush out the excess salt. But to produce urine, the kidneys also need to obtain water from the blood, and the body must replenish its supply in order to avoid dehydration. Hence, you get thirsty.

Seagulls drink salt water?
Yes they have special glands which filter out the salt. +++ You can't "filter" the salt out, but you can remove it by osmosis, and all animals - including us - absorb most of the water they drink by osmosis into the blood-vessels within the intestinal walls. An animal that can drink brine does the same, but its osmotic process has developed to transfer the water but leave the salt behind. It does not use "special glands". Anyway, a gland produces enzymes, hormones other metabolic chemicals; it is not a filter.

Why can you drink NaCl water but not ocean water?
Quite a simple reason. You can die. See, when you drink salt water, the salt messes with all the levels of fluids in your body. Your body goes crazy trying to get rid of the fluid and salt out. You get thirst and constipation. If you drink too much, you can die. But don't worry, if you swallow some water from the ocean when a wave hits you or if you swallow some if your gargling it or something, it won't hurt you.
Why will you dehydrate more quickly if you drink seawater instead of fresh water?
Salt will pull the water content from the cells it encounters. This process, called osmosis, is the reason why bottles of pills and other containers that need to stay dry have little packets of silica in them. The silica (like sodium) leeches the water from its environment.
