_________________________________ Currently, communities in over 30 states, or even the states themselves, have or had enacted bans on certain types of water softener discharge. Among them, in addition to Texas, are California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, and virtually all other states in the Northeast and Southeast. Western states as well as several Midwestern states have or had also enacted regulations. When the safe, cost-effective alternative is non-chemical TWT Deposit Control, there is little or no need to introduce sodium from softeners or chemicals from other treatment methods into residential or commercial /industrial wastewater streams. | |
