We have the Nova systems--whole house filter and water softener. I went with the potassium chloride rather than sodium because my husband didn't care for the slimy feel of the water of our last three water softeners (Michigan and Florida). I have found that while the sodium softeners did not cause any calcium deposit buildup, the potassium system does leave a little. It's not as bad as having no softener, but I wish I had gone with the sodium. We have brushed fixtures (stainless, chrome? Not sure), and I find I have to make sure to dry them off after every use.
I love the taste of the filtered water, however.
