Morton water softener salt will make my water have a salty taste?
Q:
After using Morton water softening products will my water have a salty taste?
A:
With a water softener that is operating properly, the water should not
taste salty. The salt should be totally rinsed from the system during
the brine and rinse cycle of the regeneration process, except for the
sodium which exchanges onto the water softener's resin replacing calcium
and magnesium. During the service cycle, hardness in the water is
exchanged for sodium.
If your water tastes salty, it is likely that the water softener is malfunctioning, such as a stuck valve or valve that isn't seated properly. You could try cleaning the venturi valve and directions for doing this are in your owner's manual. Otherwise, you should call a reputable water dealer to have the unit checked.
