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!

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

I use distilled water in mine. I keep a gallon by each ironing board. You can use tap water but then it depends on the type of tap water in your area. Reliable Corp. recommends the following: ° Distilled water° Softened water (from a household water softener)° Filtered water with low mineral content (counter top unit or store bought)° Tap water (if your tap water is hard, this is the least recommended)Hope this helps!Smiles,Love2Sew&Quilt;

I used soft scrub, but we don't own the house this went into any longer, and the extent of my cleaning was for the first few months of ownership. It's a great sink though!!

The answer is based upon how much ardness your water has. 1st find out how hard your water is. That will dictate which model to buy as to capacity to soften the water. I believe he 220 is designed to handle up to 70 grains of hardness. After that you must go on up in the capacity. I have 12-grain water and set it for 15 grains; it will automatically regenerate at 400 hundred gallons and this will be about every 96 hours. It uses about 18 gallons of water each time it regenerates and that is an unusually small amount. This is my 2nd Waterboss unit. The bed became exhausted after 10 years. These are a great buy and the tech support is rapid and very helpful.

Use 1 teaspoon of fragrant liquid fabric softener in a gallon of distilled water. Make sure it's fully dissolved before using it.

Just use the normal salt pellets for water conditioners sold at Lowes, Kmart, etc. If you have iron in your water use the bags marked for iron. It will take it out along with making the water soft.

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.

I'm not sure about hard water, but it is the best stuff we have ever used on diapers. I made a recipe that we used and it broke the baby out. So back to country save we went. I will always buy it for my diaper laundering.

Using warm water really helps to dissolve the formula. If the water is cold is takes forever!

Yes, I find that Culligan ISH-100 has really soften up my water. I have well and it's very hard water...my skin was really dry until I used Culligan - it's not so soft that you feel like you still have soap on but it's soft enough that my skin isn't dry and cracking any longer.

It depends on the reason why your water is hard. Some places have high iron. Other places have high limestone. My guess is that this product wouldn't really help with that (considering the most common causes of "hard water").

Definitely not to be used in replacement for a detergent. I have really hard water too (Florida) and use it as a booster. It says it does act as a water softener. I also use a fabric softener (liquid) and notice a difference. For the price, I say try it out & see. Worst case if you don't notice a difference, you haven't lost much money. And it can also be used as a household cleaner if you don't notice a difference. The box has a ton of instructions for use on it. Hope that helps!

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

I only drink distilled water, so I do not know how it would effect your soft water. Sorry.

I reviewed the other answers, they are spot on, my only other advice is to make sure your water is very cold and add an additive to take out hard water minerals if you aren't using filtered water.

The difference is basically your volume of water use. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this product. I live in Oxford, Pa. where this water conditioner is distributed in USA. I have well water that is very hard and I use a traditional salt water softener. I have used this for over 6 months and while this cannot soften water, it is supposed to stop scale buildup. Well, there is no change in scale buildup and I can't see any positive results. I had to re-connect my salt based conditioner. I really wanted this product to work, considering it affects my local economy, but sadly it is useless. I should have listened to local plumbers who told me it is a waste of money.
