Did you know that every bag of salt put into a water softener ends up in the environment? Salt pollutes drinking water sources, inhibits fish reproduction and growth, aids some invasive species, damages infrastructure and causes soil problems. This video from Building Wisconsin TV shows how being salt wise with your water softener can make a big impact in reducing salt pollution. Host Stuart Keith meets with Steve Breitlow and Cory Thompson from Plumbers Local 75, Kathy Lake from the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District, Luke Bauer from Monona Plumbing & Fire Protection and Allison Madison from WI Salt Wise. Learn how water softeners work, how they’re repaired and when they should be replaced.
