Robison) Organization: Exxon Office Systems, Princeton Lines: 12 I believe there is a statistcial correlation between prevalence of heart attacks and soft water. It is possible that soft water is really not good for you. Sorry that I cannot quote sources. The article I read on this convinced me that I wouldn't want a water softener, but I think the statistical evidence refers to naturally soft water areas, and not to homes with water softeners vs. those without. - Toby Robison (not Robinson!) allegra!eosp1!robison or: decvax!ittvax!eosp1!robison or (emergency): princeton!eosp1!robison
