I just had a Kinetic Water Softener installed at home. I have read a few threads about softened water not being good for fish or plants (Kinetic manual actually says it's fine). I had it installed so that the kitchen cold water tap is un-softened, i.e. for drinking but also for my tank.
However the cold water will be very cold and it would have been convenient if I could use some softened hot water rather than having to have large amounts of water standing around to reach acceptable temperature.
Would there be any negative impact on plants using a smaller amount of softened water? Say 1/3 softened and 2/3 normal. Or is worth not using it even at lower levels?
