I am curious if the increased levels of sodium from the use of a whole house water softener will decrease the life of a RO membrane used in the kitchen for drinking water? ( I have read everywhere it is better on the membrane, however the dealer just said it is worse on the membrane and will void the warranty? ) So I am confused as to why they are saying this?
Our water hardness was 10 grain per gallon. So this would indicate to me their will be above normal ion exchange replaced with sodium headed to the membrane? Just curious if anyone can help expand on this if they too have a set up like this? Am I going to be burning through membranes? This specific DOW membrane I am looking at says it needs replacement after 2 years.
