This IS interesting - we have a water softener too, and while I am always "suspicious" of the "treated" water, I am so glad you passed this info on to us. My husband didn't go thru rad treatment, but this info you shared may prove invaluable to us or to others. So did you just let your softener run out and never replaced the pellets? We are in Sarasota, FL.
THANKS! JaneP.
