We got a test kit to check our water hardness and discovered it measured only slightly hard. As I posted above, we have noticed no change in washing since the softener was removed. I think if we had very hard water, we would see changes in laundry and personal cleaning.
In a previous home we had a softener and had trouble with our water heaters. They accumulated small, crystalline deposits that settled in the bottom of the tank and hindered the heating process even though I drained and flushed the tank regularly. I showed the repair guy the deposits and he told me it was because of the softener.
So what to do? Softener or no softener, it seems you can have trouble.
