I recently visited a friend in MN and he had well water. He used a softener and I didn't dig the feel of the water. It was slippery and soapy feeling. In fact it felt like you couldn't get the soap off yourself and the towels didn't feel like they removed the water either. He had all these bags of soft piled up next to his water heater and water softener. Isn't there something else he could use to deal with hard water issues? I've heard some water do take change the water and help with hard water residue. Do you have to use a water softener with hard water issues? I recently visited a friend in MN and he had well water.

There is a much better alternative to salt based water softeners (sorry Morton's salt). It’s called Scalewatcher electronic hard water conditioning. It’s been three years since we installed our Scalewatcher and we have no complaints: we have no more scale around faucets and showerheads, the nasty scale deposits in toilet bowls are gone and never came back. Best of all: my eczema is gone like magic and we have no more dry skin! We love our Scalewatcher and we have recommended it to all our friends and family. We got a great price online at www.scalewatcherUSA.com It’s been one of the best investments we ever made for our house, and it keeps saving us money because it keeps our water heater scale free, and we don't have to be buying heavy bags of salt as before.
