Soap Test - Is PolyHalt still effective?Updated 3 months ago

Another great method is to perform a soap sud test. We know that soft water improves the performance of soaps and that can be observed. While the correct ratio of soap/water/air can be unique, here's a general guide to perform this test yourself.

1. Fill a water bottle half-full with untreated water from before your PolyHalt Softener and another with your tap water.
2. Add 1-5 small drops of your favorite hand-washing dish soap
3. Shake both
4. Observe the amount of suds in this side-by-side comparison. The softened water will have more bubbles and taller suds.

A word of caution on this- every soap is different and your results will vary with the hardness of the water. The trick is to find the amount of soap to add for your needs. Start with one drop in each and work your way up.
