Removing Sodium

[mtnwater]

I use a whole house ph neutralizer and water softener in my home. I want a small inline or at the source -faucet - to remove the sodium in the water because I have high blood pressure and I am currently buying bottled water to avoid the excess salt. Could you please find me a filter or suggest another source where I could purchase this filter? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Faucet and inline filters will not remove sodium. A membrane is the way to remove sodium from water. Membranes are in reverse osmosis systems.

We have our holiday promotion on this item:
Pentek RO-3500 Reverse Osmosis System and Culligan RO3500 from USFilter RO Systems.

Thank you,

hi,

you have to use De-ionizing filters which are most commonly used for commercial, laboratory and industrial uses.

First, you need to know how much sodium is in the drinking water. A softener adds 7.85 mg/l, roughly a quart, per grain per gallons of compensated hardness.

I.E. hardness of say 15 gpg plus 1 ppm of iron = compensated hardness of 19 gpg * 7.85 = 149.15 mg per quart. Now that seems to be a high number until we look at other sources of sodium by checking food labels.

A slice of white bread usually has between 120-160 mg per slice. An 8 0z glass of glass of skim milk, 530+/-. V8 juice per glass, 560 mg. Snack food sodium content is TERRIBLE.

So someone concerned or worried about sodium uptake should read labels and actually learn how much sodium they get compared to drinking a quart of their softened water. And then adjust accordingly instead of buying an RO etc. to reduce the softened water sodium content. Donchya think?

BTW, most all waters contain some sodium. And all chlorides, salt is sodium chloride, goes right through a water softener to drain, none is added to the treated water.
