Kinetico Premier Series Owner's Manual page 17

Is it OK to drink soft water?
Yes, soft water is OK for drinking and cooking. If your softener regenerates
with sodium chloride (salt), keep in mind that there will be a small amount of
sodium added to the softened water (see page 18). People who are on sodium-
restricted diets should consider the added sodium as part of their overall
sodium intake. For the highest quality drinking water possible, a Kinetico
reverse osmosis drinking water system will remove as much as 98 percent of
total dissolved solids from your water.
If at any time you feel your Kinetico water system is not operating properly, put
the system in by-pass and call your local, authorized Kinetico dealer. To assure
that the barium and radium reduction capability of the system is maintained,
make sure the system is working effectively. Soft water indicates that the reduction
of contaminants will occur as expected. Contact your local dealer for information
and directions for the procedure to test your water hardness.
