Hi Dean, Water Softners replace calcium ions with sodium ions. The result is a bucket of very salty water by the end of a year. Salty water is not so good for piano wire, so I'm told by the folks who live on our coasts. Reverse Osmosis water, or distilled water both will work so long as the first "fill" is regular tap water. Where I live pads using regular water need to be replaced four times per year. I train my clients to do this task. At 09:12 AM 8/27/2008 -0400, you wrote: >Soft water works very well, also.
