"I just had a water conditioner installed in my home. Is it safe to drink the softened water, or should I buy bottled? And what about watering my houseplants? -- Geraldine Nelson, Santa Paula, CA There are several different types of water conditioners, and some use salt as part of the system. If yours does, ask the company that installed the system or your local water department for a water report. If the sodium level is high, check with your physician, especially if you have a medical condition that requires a sodium-restricted diet. In that case, switching to no-salt bottled water might be smart. As for watering your plants, experts say it&amp;#039;s not a good idea to use &amp;quot;salty&amp;quot; water.
