Hey guys,
I understand the basics of how a water softener work. Na+ replaces Mg++ and Ca++.
I got a C- in chemistry, so give me a break for the dumb question, but if I know the water profile (how much Ca and Mg my water has before the softener), how would I estimate the water profile post-softener?
I wanna say just add up the Ca and Mg, and multiply by 2, but I think that's wrong.
If the softener strips the bicarbonate of its Ca, where does the CO3 part go?
