Here’s the thing: testing your water softener is not rocket science. It’s about being nosy with your own home. If your soap suds are tall, your hands feel slick, and your glasses sparkle, you’re probably golden.
But if you’re still suspicious, grab a test strip and shut up your doubts. I’d rather you be a little paranoid than drink water that tastes like Dave’s lemon-rock cocktail. He never did figure out his system—until I found the salt bridge.
So go ahead, shake that bottle, feel your own hands, and stare at your shower door. Your water softener can’t hide from you—not anymore.
