MINNESOTAWater softener regenerate research
John Novak, keynote speaker at the Minnesota Onsite Wastewater Association conference and lead researcher on the water softener regenerate study at Virginia Tech, shared the effects regenerate has on septic system effluent. Novak stated that regenerate is better for average residential onsite systems provided water softeners regenerate based on demand (how much water is used) rather than at certain times. Time-based systems can introduce too much salt, which can cause too much resuspension of solids that can clog drainfield piping.INDIANAAssociation helps tornado victims
