    Softener Newbie needs help

    Softener Newbie needs help

    What's got me wondering is you say you're on municipal water which to me means city water which there should not be any hardness to the water. My sister-in-law who is on municipal water has none all is treated beforehand. Maybe in other parts of the country it's not the same.
