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!

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.

Never plain water! You should only use a Saline Solution as recommended for your contacts. I do not use hard contacts though, only monthly or dailies, so cannot comment on how this works on hard contacts.

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! :)

You know this is a very good question, however I have never checked it. I don't believe it is changed but this is just a guess on my part. I think it would still be considered hard water.

It should not make any differences whether you plumb it from a well or after a water softener unit. You should get the unit with a chemical adding filter to add vitamins and nutrients back into the water regardless. The water softener unit will take the hardness minerals out of the water before the reverse osmosis system does.

Instructions for the iron suggest tap water or a mix of 50/50 tap and distilled. There is no discussion of water types. I would definitely us the 50/50 with your hard water. Be sure to release the steam when you shut it off. Even though I have very good water, I still raise iron above my head hoping water will drain out of iron and hose.

I use delicate cycle, warm water. No, I don't use fabric softener, just regular detergent. They seem pretty tough and could probably be washed in a regular cycle. I never put them in with regular clothing due to the Bona chemical that is used. Might not do anything, but I don't take the chance. I wash them sometimes with the rags used to dry out the bathtub or things I use to clean up spots on the carpet.

My filtering out the chorine, it definitely softens as well though I don't know if it claims to do that. We still use a water softener for the mineral issue.

I use Rockin Green detergent. We have softened water, so I use the Soft Rock. I also use the Funk Rock soak. My sister recommended OxyClean for bad stains and now I use that sometimes too. I've had my diapers in use for a year, but she's had hers 4 years - she's on the second baby.

I usually use water mixed with olive oil. Leaves skin soft with a natural moisturizer.

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

For the first six months of ownership I descaled it monthly with vinegar. I changed my water filter to reverse osmosis late last year and have been using the RO water since then. Descaling is important for long life. Even diluting the hard water with distilled or RO will still leave hard water deposits, just proportionally less.

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.

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.

Hello, Thanks for contacting Swanson Health Products! We are happy to help! Upon review, a scented detergent would be fine to use with soft water. Unfortunately, this product is not available at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please contact us with any further questions. Thank you! -Anna H.
