My question is relative to whether you think it is harder or softer? In the area South of 466 the water tastes fine. However, I find it very hard. It leaves water marks on everything you let it set on...faucet bases, shower doors, tile.
While I do not like the "slippery" feel of softened water, I am fast approaching pursuing a softener.
What is your experience?

Agree with your analysis. South of 466 does taste fine, and it feels great in a shower, but it leaves marks and dish washer crud. Like you, I'm reticent about getting a softener because of that gooey feeling after a shower, like your body has a light coating of baby oil on it. Any water softener out there without the oily sensation?
