You say that, but surely where water is soft already nobody has the choice.
I don't think there should be any problem with softened water, but I guess
if things were not kept working correctly one could end up with something
not very good for you.
I covered the magnetic idea earlier, They cause clumping together of lime
scale, and it is still in the system, somewhere, probably clogging up the
pipes!

So. I'm fed up with scale everywhere. I'm thinking water softener.

I don't want to faff about filling it with salt every 5 minutes.

It's there an idiots guide somewhere which explains the different
systems?

This one for example seems to good to be true. Which probably means it's
total ********...

Can anyone with a system installed comment please?

those magnetic things are a scam.
That leaves phosphate dosing and ion exchange. IE requires regular salt
tablets. P requires a very occasional replacement cartridge. Drinking
water taps (ie kitchen cold) should not be softened.
