Introduction (cont.)
WATER FOR LAWNS AND HOUSEHOLD PLANTS
If possible, lawn sprinkling faucets should be supplied with hard water primarily because it is
uneconomical to soften so much water.
Household plants are much more sensitive than lawns with respect to the kind of water which
is best. First, because they receive no rainfall and, second, there is little or no drainage of the
soil. Preferably they should be watered with rainwater or water which is low in mineral content
such as distilled or demineralized water. Softened water is not recommended for house plants
because a build-up of sodium in the soil may interfere with efficient absorption of water by the
plant root system. Additional information may be obtained from your independently operated
Culligan dealer.
