I gave the Old Water Softener an Over haul ( I think I broke it, so its
not really getting salt water anymore) and now we don't have that film
after the shower.

Actually, you didn't have the film before, now you do. Soft water makes you
feel as though you did not rinse properly when in fact, you rinsed better
than ever and have no minerals you you.
