Hi,

We have a water softener installed in our house for the past 5 years and it has been working great. The thing is i will be setting up a planted aquarium and water from a water softener is toxic to the plants. The water softener is fitted in the kitchen and hard to get a look at the plumbing without removing part of the kitchen.

Does anyone know how i can tell if my outside tap water is softened or not.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

You could use a simple Check Kit like this to compare the hardness from various sources https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202874535443 . I've used them in the past to confirm my softener was working.
