That slimy feeling means your soap, shampoo, and body wash are working. They’re not wasted on fighting mineral deposits.
You use less product. You save money. Your plumbing lasts longer.
So the next time you step out of the shower and feel like a greased dolphin, smile. That’s victory on your skin.
One more weird thing
Softened water conducts electricity better than hard water. Don’t worry—your toaster is still safe.
But it’s a fun fact to drop at parties. “Did you know my shower water is slightly more conductive because of sodium ions?”
You’ll either seem brilliant or weird. Both are good.
