Have you noticed your water feels slippery after you've installed a water softener? Slippery or slimy water is actually a good sign that your system is working properly. With untreated water, you might notice a slight friction or dusty feeling when rubbing your fingers together. Those are the hardness minerals on your skin. Your softener is designed to trap those hardness minerals, leaving you with 'slippery' feeling water. As a result you get cleaner skin and less mineral deposits.
