The healthy growth of plants and animals is what allows human life to flourish. We are dependant upon our environment. The quality of the air we breathe, and the food that we eat is to a great extent determined by the health of our water and air supply. These elements in turn affect the plants, trees, and animals that we need in order to exist. How we treat our environment has a profound effect on the quality of our life and the future of our planet. |

Ordinary methods of softening water use salt to remove calcium from the water. This salt is harmful to the environment. The salt brine discharged from these units is dumped into rivers, lakes and streams without treatment by municipal waste facilities. There is no practical or inexpensive way to remove these salts during waste treatment. Plants, fish and animals are forced to suffer from the caustic residues of salt. Sodium chloride significantly reduces all aspects of plant growth. Root and shoot growth are reduced and tip burn is increased. Crops such as strawberries, lettuce, and avocados are especially sensitive to salt content in their irrigation water.
Salt accumulation in our lakes, rivers, and streams affects all varieties of living things. These make it though the food chain and eventually arrive in our food. In the end we humans consume ten times the amount of salt needed for our survival.
It comes as no surprise that salt is invading wilderness areas from the Florida everglades to the California coastal waterways. Although many governmental agencies are passing legislation against salt softening systems, opposition against this type of legislation is intense. The cost of the lawsuits involved makes it difficult for all but the largest municipalities to afford such legislation. The end result for the earth is that billions of pounds of salt are dumped into the environment per year.
In contrast to other water softening systems, the Soo-Soft® digital water softener helps living things grow. Green plants of all kinds grow better under the influence of our chemical free water treatment. In areas where there is a natural salt content to the soil, a dramatic increase in crop yields has been reported. In other areas, the absence of hard calcium crystals in the water helps nutrients find their way to the furthest reaches of the plants cellular system.
