Exchange Water Softeners
California has led the country in a movement to ban 
salt-based water softeners — with states like Texas, 
Michigan, and Connecticut following suit. So, why did 
California state legislators decide to ban these popular 
water softeners when they were widely used around the 
state to soften the notoriously hard water found in 
California? 
  
Salt-Based Water Softeners 
Explained 
Our water is filled with calcium and magnesium molecules 
that make the water hard if we don’t incorporate water 
softeners into our water systems. If softeners are not 
applied, the hard water will cause problems in our homes 
by wearing down fixtures and appliances quickly due to 
‘soap scum’
  
Negative Effects on 
Agriculture
Agriculture plays a vital role for Californiansand people 
around the world. According toPacific Research Institute, 
California is responsible for 11 percent of total 
agricultural sales in the United States, the largest share 
of any state. California’s agricultural sector is a solid and 
essential component of the state’s economyand national 
and global food production
  
The Economic Impact 
While the environmental impact of salt-based water 
softeners is undeniable, so is the economic impact. 
Daniel Cozad, the executive director of theCentral Valley 
Salinity Alternatives for Long-term Sustainability initiative 
in California state, spoke to California Sun about the 
financial implications of salt-based water softeners 
inserting unnecessary salts into the state’s water supply. 
  
California’s Ongoing 
Struggle With Water Issues
It’s no secret that California has a history of drought and 
water shortages. So when water that would’ve been 
otherwise useable became contaminated due to salt-
based water softenerspreviously being used throughout 
the state, significant issues arose. California legislators 
were pushed to ban these water softeners.
  
Salt-Free Water Softener 
Systems
Lawmakers, politicians, environmentalists, farmers, and 
consumers alike felt the need to ban water softeners 
because of the detrimental economic and environmental 
impacts. The excess salt was problematic in many ways 
for a state that already struggled with water issues.
