We recently put in a water softner. Our water was tested and everything came out good with the exception of the Alkalinity, which is 0, causing us to now have dry skin. How do you fix this problem? Thanks for the help.
Answer: Very odd analysis – unless you have a commercial water softener that is completely removing all hardness (not a residential design) it is very unlikely that your alkalinity is actually zero – low maybe – but not zero. What is your pH level? Dry skin may be due to a reduced pH.
