Cherrywood water carries chlorine at 1.4 parts per million, and it tests soft at 1.6 milligrams per liter, about 0.1 grains. The white film people here find on glasses and fixtures is the dissolved minerals the water carries, and a softener would never touch that. The published report also shows one chlorine byproduct sample at 87.6 ppb, above the federal limit, with the compliance average under it.
