What is your experience using a whole house water softener? Do you have salt, potassium, or something else? How satisfied are you with washing your hair, using the dishwater, and buildup around showers & faucets?

Our house came w/a Pegasus system, using Potassium.
We had no buildup at the faucets, the dishwasher and laundry worked fine. We did notice a "slippery feeling afer a shower, but no biggie...
Unfortunately, the Potassium gave SWMBO and the dog some "GI issues", so we switched over to salt. No noticeable change in the efficiency of the softener, still bo scaling at the faucets, and after a few months, the Potassium was completely replaced by salt and the Dog's GI issues went away.
SWMBO still insists on me getting the 5 gallon water jugs and we bought a free standing water cooler/heater, where the water jug sits underneath in a cabinet.
I drink the water from the fridge door with no problems...
