the water in our area is fairly hard, I know a lot of people who have them. Not sure I could justify the expense though -- nm - decline Jul 13, 07:47
Have you showered in softened water? Some people like it, I hate it. -- nm - mara Jul 13, 07:46 7
- Might I ask why as I've only really known our soft water. What differences do you notice? - Krusty Jul 13, 08:05 3
  - It feels kind of slimy, and it's harder to rinse the soap/shampoo. -- nm - mara Jul 13, 08:10 2
    - Thanks. I don't remember what it was like showering in hard water when I was out west. - Krusty Jul 13, 08:18
    - Technically I think it FEELS like it's harder to rinse the soap off, but hard water actually leaves more soap on the skin. -- nm - Ender Jul 13, 08:15
- in really hard water, you get maximum frizz. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 07:48

Depends on your water. At my house growing up we were on a well and it was 110% necessary. -- nm - Ender Jul 13, 07:41 4
- It hasn’t really bothered me, other than leaving spots on dishes. But apparently it’s high (~16 grains per gallon) -- nm - znufrii, not outraged Jul 13, 07:46 2
  - good water for stouts! -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 07:48 1
    - True -- nm - znufrii, not outraged Jul 13, 08:12

- Our water is amazing. We don't need those thankfully. - Krusty Jul 13, 08:02 2
  - Hard tap water is GROSS. East coast of FL has this. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 13, 08:08 1
    - I went to Vegas many years ago and I remember the water in the hotel water fountains was awful. - Krusty Jul 13, 08:15
- Removes mineral salts (mainly carbonates) from the water system - Reagen Jul 13, 07:44 1
