One of my relatives has one.

The treated water does taste a little funny.....

OK will stick to scaley water for the kitchen cold tap and water filter...

I use softened water in the loo cisterns and it does eliminate the
scaling deposit issues. Perhaps the combimate would have a similar
effect - not sure.

Might as well try it and see...

What about the (hardly used) outside tap?

Not really worth it.

The question was more directed at is there any explicit reason to not
dose it, given that it will require extra plumbing to separate the feed
from the rest of the pipework. (the tap onlt gets used for car or
pressure washing - very rare that the garden gets watered!)

Right. OK, if that's the application, the game is different. There
won't be much water used but not really benefits either, so I'd leave
it the way it is.

I have a 22mm cold supply outlet run directly from the incoming main
for one outside tap used for garden purposes, then two additional taps
(hot and cold) after the softener for exterior washing applications.
It's certainly worth using softened water in a pressure washer and for
window cleaning etc.
