California’s state legislature is expected to pass a water softener ban.  After reading this, I am concerned that it could cause major problems for everyone involved.  It seems to me that this would only increase our energy costs.  An issue we are already struggling with daily!  

The only time a lot of us think of “Hard Water” is when you wash a new shirt and it comes out looking ragged or you have a bad hair day. But, this is a big deal.  There are many people involved in keeping our water clean and efficient.  We have already spent many funds developing greener softening technologies.  Will this bill send us backwards?

The press release states “Under the bill, water boards – which are not answerable to the voters – would be able to simply issue a “finding” that they believe bans would be helpful.”   

Should a “water board” be deciding on the most efficient way to run our water systems?  

How will this affect our water treatment plants?  How will this affect Maintenance Costs?
