A bit of history here.  Water often contains dissolved minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium, and other elements.  Historically this was called "hard water" because a) it left behind these minerals in "rock like" deposits in the teapot and anywhere the water was boiled or evaporated, and b) if formed a reaction with soap producing a "scum" on dishes, . A water softener replaces the cations (metals) in the water with Sodium. The Sodium doesn't form the same reactions, no deposits, and hence the name "soft" water.

Hope that helps.

Hi David,

The water conditioning issue came to the fore, after one of water research experts advised us that water conditioning using Electronic water conditioning y method can reduce fluoride levels to WHO recommended levels of less than 1.5mgl.

I would be happy to know whether this is possible.

Kind Regards
