House was built in 2019; we're the first owners, been here 6 yrs now, Fenney area. Only the two of us, each aged 70+. Plan on staying till ...we exit feet first.
What are pros & cons of a water softener? (besides having a hard time rinsing in the shower) Thanks!

Not to be rude but: you will have already exited feet first before you ever have a buildup of gunk in the water pipes.
