We've owned in TV for 5 years and haven't found the need for a water conditioner. Clothes washing and bathing are not a problem. I will admit the water is not as good tasting as up north but you get used to it. If taste is an issue I'd go with inexpensive bottled water.
If you do go with a commercial water system, be careful. I've heard that most of those companies are very over priced. I heard of one person who negotiated a system down from thousands to hundreds.
