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?
We have used salt-based systems for years and love the benefits. The only minus I find is, especially in FL, the salt pellets tend to form a solid block in the bottom of the tank, after a while due to the high humidity, and must be manually broken up to restore efficient operation. One has to be careful to not poke holes in the tank. We use a whole-house filter before the softener - all works well!
