I suspect that you drink RO water because you don't want the chlorine and chemicals in your drinking water, but did you know that you absorb more chemicals and chlorine through your skin and through inhalation (vaporization) in a 20 minute shower than you could ever drink?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Personally, I believe that calling these products "softeners" brands the seller as a charlatan because they do not in fact, soften the water.  An argument can be made that they "condition" the water, but that is also deceptive in my opinion.  Most people who have hard water use the words "softener" and "conditioner" interchangeably. ]]></description>
