    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.
