The only thing I’ve noticed is that clothes don’t come out of the laundry as clean and bright without additional cycle time (or non-chlorine bleach). I don’t know if I should attribute that to the lack of chlorination or the (different) washer.

Is your water hard or soft. We have water that has a hardness of 3 on a scale of 0 to 200. It's the softest water I have ever encountered. We have to use very little soap or the suds will take forever to rinse.

I’m not sure what you would call it.

I had our analyst run my well water through the lab and there were no (detectable) levels of sodium, potassium, calcium, or iron. He did detect a tiny amount of zinc.

There were no organics detectable.

I also meant to say (in my post above) that the water doesn’t have that ‘slimy’ feel, that overly soft water can have.
