Hard water vs. Soft water

179 views

My parents got a water softener installed in their house a couple years back. Every time I go visit and shower there I feel slimy from the water. I hate it. They love it, good for them. But I’ve always wondered what causes that slimy feeling from the soft water. My limited understanding is that hard water contains more minerals than soft water. Is that accurate? How does that cause the slimy feeling of soft water? I’d love to understand the science behind it. Thanks!

Following! I hate hard water which is usually what we have. My daughter has showered at my parents recently and said she hated their soft water. I know we will probably never have soft water again but I really want to shower at their house now lol
