Soft Water Question
I don't mean to sound stupid, but my only experience with 'soft water' is a trip years ago to my aunt's house and she had a whole house water softener which made my skin and hair feel like I could never wash the soap/shampoo out. The feeling was so awful that I was in the shower for twice as long as usual until she finally came up and asked if I was ok. I told her my skin and hair seemed soapy after several minutes under the water and I couldn't wash out the soap. She laughed and said it was only the softener. Is that the way it is for everyone and do you just have to adjust to that feeling? Or, have they made improvements to the system in the many years since I experienced this as a teenager? I sure hope that this isn't the way I have to live the rest of my days, never knowing if the soap is on or off (truly, no exaggeration on the feeling in my memory. It has stayed with me for 40+ years).
Can anyone tell me if their softener makes any noticable difference when showering or washing?
