Softened water (from a water softener) has some additional sodium (not salt) in it. Reverse osmosis will remove this sodium. Indeed reverse osmosis membranes are quickly damaged by hardness in water, so reverse osmosis systems prefer to run on softened water. Julian Hobday of KindWater

How does water leave a cell when placed in salt water?
osmosis, which is diffusion of water across a membrane from an area with lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
How does osmosis occur in an egg cell?
Osmosis occurs in an egg cell if you place it in liquids. If you put it in vinegar, the egg's shell will start to dissolve. Then, you can test osmosis in water or salt water. Because the egg is considered a cell, it will swell the egg cell with plain water (meaning it will increase the egg's mass). With salt water, the egg cell will shrink in mass.
What is an example of osmosis in a living organism?
Fish are the perfect example of osmosis in living organisms. Salt Water fish are constantly drinking because they are always losing water to their environments. On the other hand, fresh water fish almost never need to drink because they are constantly absorbing water through their skin. Could somebody improve this because this doesn't exactly say how osmosis actually happens in living things it just says about salt fish which might have soemthing to do with it/ / Osmosis is when water moves from an area of high concentration to low, which is why salt water fish lose water ( it's less concentrated around them, because of the salt, than in them)
What happens when the Paramecium gets close to the salt?
The water outside the paramecium has a higher salt concentration than the inside of the paramecium. Therefore, due to osmosis, the water inside the paramecium will move to the outside and dry out. It's the same thing happens when you put salt on a slug.
What takes place in the salmon's cells as it moves from saltwater to freshwater?
the cells fill with water because of the movement of water by osmosis.The cells remove salt to balance the solute concentration.The cells fill with water because of the movement of water by osmosis A.S.Apex :)I am a Apex student who dislikes quiz's and stuff :)
How hardness of water can be remove?
Hardness of water can be removed with a water softener. These devices pump the water through salt to remove minerals and other particles.
Can you remove salt from salt water in very simple way?
Yes, by distillation or reverse osmosis.
which water softener is the best?
There are lot of water softeners ;kenmore water softener,culigan water softener,salt free water softener,ion exchange water softener.in my opinion ion exchange water softener is the best.
How can hardness of water removed?
Hardness of water can be removed with a water softener. These devices pump the water through salt to remove minerals and other particles.
Why is there salt in water softener brine tank?
The sodium in the salt reacts with the zeolite in the softener stripping it of the calcium when you regenerate the softener. When the softener is in service the calcium more readily replaces the sodium on the zeolite resin beads softening the water.
What is the best salt for my water softener?
I read that Morton salt was really good to use for a water softener. If salt is a no-go, you can always try to use potassium chloride instead.
Do you need to add salt to a dishwasher if a water softener fitted to your house supply?
No, the water softener takes care of it.
Can water softener salt cause hair loss?
Water softener salt can indeed be a cause of hair loss. This is especially true if someone has sensitive skin.
Is a salt based water softener bad for your low salt diet?
A salt-based water softener will add another element of complexity to your low salt diet since water consumed from the system will be another source of sodium.
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
What is the best water softener to buy?
The Pelican Salt-Free Softener is one of the best rated water softners on the market
Why salt solution is used in osmosis experiment?
Salt solutions are used in osmosis experiment to show that water will move to the side that has more salt. "Water follows salt."
