Resin doesn't last forever. High chlorine levels will cause it to deteriorate faster. Your water tests at a lower hardness than mine. YMMV.

We have no problems with personal or clothes washing. I did have a softener years ago, but the resin tank detriorated and sent resin into our lines, contaminating the fridge filter as well as making the water undrinkable. And we were taking that resin into our bodies and cooking with it! Never again. I got the same story about the water being very hard from the softener salesman.
