Doesnt a water softner in action “remove” calcium and MAGNESIUM and in doing so attack the magnesium sacrificial anodes?
water heaters with softners have a very high rate of anode breakdown.
I asked a rep from a softner company about this and he said they actually recommend removing the anodes!
Voiding warranty of course!
Its all very confusing.
