Likewise, people ask, will a water softener kill grass?
Softened water is treated with salt to help remove the minerals from hard water. It's unlikely that your water softener salt will kill your grass, especially not by using it to water occasionally. But prolonged use of soft water just isn't ideal for your garden.
Similarly, will soft water kill flowers? If your plants get plenty of rainwater, then occasional soft water won't hurt. But watering plants exclusively with soft water isn't recommended. Most water softeners use sodium chloride, which can cause a gradual build up of sodium in garden soil.
Hereof, can water softener drain outside?
If the total drop from the softener to the air gap is over 4 ft, yes. If if the air gap is outdoors, yes (to let the water drain out reliably so that it does not sit long enough to freeze). Otherwise, no.
Can you water plants if you have a water softener?
Because houseplants do not receive the benefit of rainfall, do not water them with softened water. On the other hand, softened water is okay for occasional use in your garden. However, it provides zero benefit for garden plants, so you should water them with hard water over the long term.
