Is hard water a sufficiently serious problem that anyone uses a water softener? Yeah, I know some of the big yacht guys who worry about a spot-free shine use them, but I'm interested in more ordinary boats. If yes, is it for washing hair, clothes, or everything?
No, I'm not interested, but I've been asked to explore the possibilities. I see there are some cartridge filters with resin, but in practice they would be far more trouble than they are worth, in my opinion. Also suspect that a cartridge without a backwash cycle and any room for the bed to expand and scrub, would foul rather quickly.
Any experiences? Any problems that need solving? Or is seriously hard water in coastal areas not too prevalent? As a guy, neither hair washing or perfect clothes merit much extra work.
