Does water conditioning hurt septic systems?

摘要

The National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association (NOWRA) has been formally seeking to understand the influence of water softeners and water conditioners on septic systems. Arguments have been aired that softeners arerninnocuous and, conversely, that softeners are detrimental to septic systems. Data of varying qualities exist supporting both arguments and many questions remain unanswered. NOWRA and the Water Quality Association (WQA) agreed to partner to determine the effects from the use of softeners in con-rnjunction with onsite septic systems.
