Does water have salt in it?

Question

like when you drink it does it have salt in it, even though you didn't put any in it

Answer 1

no I dont believe so.

Answer 2

Yes, some water wells in US produce water with a salt content. That is why one uses those RO units under the sink. Its a Reverse Osmosis memebrane that allows only water molecules thru and stops salt+water molecule from passing due to size. So that filters out the salt.

And a second source, sometimes not recognized, is an ordinary home WATER SOFTNER. That is a process in which the calcium in the water is exchanged for the sodium ion and that sodium or salt goes into the regular house water supply. So if you have hypertension and salt affects you, then you need a line that is "ahead" of the water softner and supplies your drinking water.

a lot of times water will have salt in it, because it can have salt dissolve in it
