The colors of the rainbow (and then some) are being referenced in various ways by the media, in business and in the private sector. The 50 states are now classified as red, blue or purple in the upcoming presidential election, pink has become the color for breast cancer awareness, the Indiana state budget is in the black and last, but not least, everyone is going... GREEN!
Recycling and the conservation of our domestic and global resources is critical as we launch into the 21st century. And "Going Green" perhaps is a lot easier than saying, " We have established new processes and procedures to reduce our carbon foot print and output of material waste." Being bombarded with the message of Green however can also make us numb to the relevance of this new term.
Please read on to see some different enviromentally friendly plumbing solutions.
Potassium Chloride For Your Water Softener
Potassium chloride as an alternative to sodium chloride (conventional softener salt) is one way to reduce the output of sodium into the environment. Water treated with potassium chloride can also be used for drinking water throughout a home with the potassium being a health benefit.
The major drawback to potassium chloride as a substitute to sodium chloride is the cost. One home improvement center is selling potassium chloride for almost 4 times the cost of conventional softener salt. A local softener company is selling potassium chloride for about twice the cost, which is obviously a better deal, but still a more expensive choice to softener salt.
It seems that anything environmentally friendly is going to cost more. Hybrid cars, rechargable batteries and solar panels for electricity/hot water are just a few examples.

Easywater Treatment Systems
I had some real issues when Freije started to market their Easywater systems about a year ago. People would hear, see or read the claim "No salt." and think that they could get a water softener that did not use salt. Wrong! Easywater conditions the water temporarily through their process, but it does
not
soften water. There is a difference, but consumers weren't picking up on that message which left it to many plumbers and others to walk customers through this explanation.
For those people that know they need the minerals removed from their water, but don't like the slick feeling on their skin after a shower or don't want to mess with hauling bags of salt down to the basement, Easywater may be the answer.
From an environmental/conservation standpoint, this system does not use salt and it does not need to regenerate. These two factors can result in saving hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water per year. Additionally, money won't be spent on purchasing salt for a conventional water softener or for medical bills because you threw out your back hauling bags of salt into the basement.
