Re: Water Conditioners...

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Phil,

Had the electronic "conditioner" thingy for a couple of years,
didn't notice 
the slightest difference whatsoever... - nice flashing LED display
though...

I Now have a whole-house water-softener, which works an absolute treat at
softening the water... - it does as you say, feel "slippery" all
the time, 
however, my in-laws live "up north" in a soft water area, and the
water is 
like that naturally... Having lived in hard water areas for my entire life,
it was one of the first things I noticed... - I presumed that soft water is
just "like that"...

Tha salt in the softener is used purely for the regeneration cycle, - it
never actually comes into contact with the supplied softened water (I 
believe) - certainly there is no salt *in* the water, otherwise we'd be
able 
to taste it...

If you want my old electronic conditioner you're welcome to it though.... -
I guess you could at least give it a try and see if you notice
anything...
