If we have naturally hard water that is softened, which formula should we use?

I think the is the best detergent I have ever used. I live on a farm and my husband is a mechanic. Our laundry really tests the product, and it does a fabulous job with people, horse, and dog laundry. I don't know how to answer your question, but if you contacted Rockin Green, I know they will get right back to you. Good luck!

We have only used the coarse softener salt in ours and it's been working great. Our campground has extremely hard water and it's been 2 summers now using this and we love it. Hope this helps!

I have both hot and cold water running through the Water Boss. The only downside to softened water is that it will shorten the life of your water heater somewhat if you do not flush undisolved solids out annually - I tend to "forget" to do this, but to us, the soft water is really worth it.BTW, I am getting 6 months out of a 50 lb bag of Morton Water Pellets for a two person household.

No just the dissolved solute count. The hardness would depend on what those solutes are, for example you can have hard water from calcium salts, but you can have high nitrates or iron, and the water will not be hard, just dirty

I do not have a hard water problem here, but having loved in Arizona previously, from Experience with hard water there, I would not use this unit unless I had a water softener system installed and functioning prior to installation.

As with any water softener system, depending on the Hardness of the water, can great affect the average gallons between recharges. Here's the Hardness Specifications SoftSpot Nomad P200: Hardness at 3 PPM yields ~ 1500 gallons Hardness at 4 PPM yields ~ 1200 gallons Hardness at 5 PPM yields ~ 950 gallons Hardness at 10 PPM yields ~ 500 gallons Hardness at 15 PPM yields ~ 300 gallons

Yes, basically what you have left is H2O. No salts from softeners, no chlorine, no minerals. Some say minerals and even bacteria are important to humans. If so I'd rather have my water pure and get minerals other ways. Dave

No, this is not a water softener. It will not filter out the majority of the heavy minerals in the water.

It really depends on how hard your tap water is. I have naturally soft water at our house so the unit is fine. If you are really concerned even with soft water or need to use a water softener for your house then use distilled water.

We also have hard water, although not THAT hard--worth a try maybe, though! Good luck.

Nothing happens. Soaps and detergents work better in softer water. I add a couple of scoops of baking soda to the wash water, it also softens the water.

yes the water feels very soft.. I am allergic to chlorine and have no issue with this system.

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.

I bought this because my water was hard, since you already have soft water you might like to check out the shower systems that have filters that you change. Good luck on your search, Amazon has a lot to chose from.

I don't think it turns hard water soft; but it does produce negative ions that help balance the pH levels to purify water.

We have extremely hard water. We use Bubble Bandit Dishwasher Detergent and add TSP. This combination has worked well for us. Plus Bubble Bandit has a clean smell! :)

Might be suggested but I would believe no...we started with filtered water...than just used tap. Albeit our tap is descaled and softened.
