Glucose transporter type 4, also known as GLUT4, is a protein encoded, in humans, by the GLUT4 gene. GLUT4 is the insulin-regulated glucose transporter found primarily in adipose tissues and striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac). The first evidence for this distinct glucose transport protein was provided by David James in 1988. The gene that encodes GLUT4 was cloned and mapped in 1989.
If you drink bleach, it oxidizes or burns tissues in your mouth, esophagus, and stomach. According to the NIH (National Institutes of Health), it can cause nausea, chest pain, lowered blood pressure, delirium, coma, and potentially death.
A small amount of bleach (maybe 1-2 cups) into the brine well is not going to hurt anything with the softener. More than that and it could become a problem. Make sure you cycle (recharge) the softener before you drink water from the softener.You may be able to shut the water off and take inlet to the water heater loose and put bleach in that way rather than run it through the softener.ake sure you cycle (recharge) the softener before you drink water from the softener.
