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!

Hi, I can't say for sure as I have she Noritz, but I have a water softener. I do know there are many recommendations that if you have hard water something should be done to prevent build up.I assume you're considering a tankless as a move away from a tank style water heater. If your tank style did not last many years I'd suggest something to protect the tankless. This of this. These units run water through small tubes that are heated to make hot water. These tubes wouldn't take much to be come clogged. Hope I was of some help.

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

Water softening uses tiny resin balls that capture solids from the water eg. Calcium. the system then uses salt water to exchange salt ions to free the Calcium stuck to the resin balls. the calcium is washed out of the resin and down the drain. Therefore a water softener removes. Calcium scale from the water. You must choose an adequate size for your application. Too small resin bed will become less effective if you are using more gallons of water between recharges than it's capacity.. so buy bigger than you think you need, you won't regret it. NOTE : If you have high Iron content in your water, also buy Iron Filtering media. separate from the water softener. Water softening uses tiny resin balls that capture solids from the water eg.

I have used it with softened well water and filtered well water and the latter works better although the former works.

I if your tap eater is very hard, you should use distiller water. Otherwise, medium to soft should be ok.

If you have hard water be sure to use only 1/8 to 1/4 of a scoop and dissolve it well before adding your diapers! That is always plenty to get mine clean with no residue!

RAIN DROPS is a water softener....by removing calcium from hard water, it makes cleaning chores easier. The Main ingredient is Sodium Carbonate -- the company has a 1-800-617-4220 you can call to find out the other ingredients. You can easily clean all manner of items using your favorite cleaners and get a wonderful bonus by getting dishes, toilets, sinks, floors windows, clothing, etc. much cleaner and softer just by using a relatively small amount.

we use a 50:50 mix of distilled water and water from our refrigerator's water spigot. we have very hard water.

No, a water softener would remove hardness. But this more or less polishes soft water to removes odor and flavor problems. It does take some lead, chlorine, and other bad tastes and odors.

Hi Sandy, soft water is already a good water for human consumption. If your goal is to change the pH of the water higher than 7, then, you will need this device. This one is easy to use rather than expensive ones you can find elsewhere.

I plan to use delicate, hot water, bleach and soap, no softener, drip dry. I don't know manufacturer instructions.

We do not have soft water, and I wash in warm. I don't notice any issues. I pour it in slowly though. You are supposed to put the water in first, then the soap, then the clothes. I turn on the water, then pour a small amount in my hand and let the water run over my hand to distribute the particles. I found that when I poured it in like you would think, it clumped together. So, if you just take an extra minute and distribute it slowly, it will dissolve better. I'm not sure if that's related to the water type/temp, but it is something I learned. :)

I have used one in each of my homes. I noticed some buildup inside but I do not think it is hard water buildup since one is used in the home with a water softener. I have thought about, but not yet tried, using Dip-It which is used to clean coffee pots. Hope this is is of some help.

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!

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.

I assume it probably would help to a degree, but honestly it comes down to how hard your water is. There is a test strip included in manual to test this. You will set your water hardness number as determined by that strip into the machines settings. It should be noted that I do not use this particular filter. Instead, I purchase Reverse Osmosis/Filtered water for the machine.
