>>315633 These machines separate salts (soluble metal compounds) by breaking their bonds with water, which in turn dissolves into hydronium and hydroxide ions which are constantly synthesizing into new water molecules. Basically, it's a water softener. The only thing these machines improve (if anything) is the taste of the water by reducing alkalinity, but this is subjective. Different from a water purifier in that it does not remove certain impurities that can be found in water. Don't give your mom a hard time, she's just doing what she thinks best for you :(.
