Does Water Softener Remove Chlorine? 

Many people have misconceptions that their water softener will remove chlorine from water. 
But that is far from reality. 

The purpose of a water softener system is to remove calcium and magnesium from your water and make it soft. 

It achieves this by passing hard water (water containing high levels of calcium and magnesium) through water softener salt and exchanging them with sodium ions. 

Although during this process it does trap a lit bit of chlorine as well but it has negligible effect.
