Has anyone used this in really hard water?

You don't want the "soft rock" for hard water, as that is for soft water specifically. If you order the "hard rock" it works great, or any of the regular ones with two scoops per load instead of one scoop will work in hard water.

Don't know. That hasn't been my experience. Has your water gotten harder with more minerals or sediment in it?

Yup! I've used it in salt water, fresh water, and chlorinated water without problems.

I have not had that experience. I've used cleansers and scrubbed off hard water deposit without losing any of the finish or color.

I used it with mine. Worked great when it was working...beware if you have very hard water.

Depending on where you live the the hardness of the water you must do this on a regular basis or you will have performance problems. I for instance do it at least once a month and the instructions have been given by another reviewer and are in the manual.

I do not believe it will handle hard water spots. Once you get the hard water damage taken care of, this product will help prevent the problem from coming back. I just love it!!

No. This filter will only remove debris and sediment. Will not help with hard water scale.

I have hard water too....it took 2 scoops for it to bubble up...it cleaned ok...I just didn't like how it made my clothes feel. They felt rough and scratchy.

I have had no problem, I am using it on a water tank for my cows. The water comes from a well.

I do not think it worked good out of water, and I definitely would not use it submerged. Stay away from it.

We have very hard water and have cleaned our unit a couple of times with vinegar. It works fine. About a quarter cup of vinegar and fill the unit with cold water. Turn it on and let it shut off automatically. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. I may use Louise's suggestion to run plain water in the unit but I haven't had a problem. this is a great unit. We use it several times a day.

No. We live in cold MT and have never had problems. Our 1st Brower lasted 21 or 22 years and we have hard water.

Water shield will not run when wet. Am not familiar with hard coat. But I've been using watershield for years. I have been using tayo yuden for years and could not find a better product. All of there printable disc r fantastic. Regarding the warershield. They r more durable than other disc. THe finish will not allow them to run if wet. And they do prevent scratching. But can no to pare to hard coat

I haven't had it submerged in water but I I have been in heavy rain and it worked just fine. But nothing is waterproof. it is very hard for the water to get in. Worth every penny!!!!!

Never tried it. Don't think so though. Spins very fast and gets lots of water out. I still highly recommend

Do you have hard or soft water? This doesn't happen in my machine - I have soft water
