...and hardwater is calcium deposit, does that mean that if you drink this water, you are ingesting the calcium you need?

I am sure your body absorbs some of it, certainly.

what exactly does a water softener do?

i know we have one, and have to put a new block of salt in it every so often. No idea whats going on in there though.

your body has a hard time with Calcium as you find in water or as you find in milk.

the best source of calcium for your body are Dark Greens. Spinach, Brocchali etc.

you are right about the straw thing though-- you gotta have a good shampoo/conditioner combo or your hair will never forgive you.

Obviously he doens't know what he's talking about regarding this.

i've just had hard water all my life. I'm used to it. So- to me, the lack of taste in soft water, tastes bad.
