Yeah you "feel" slimy, but it's because of the oils on your skin. Hard water leaves soap residue on your skin... So if you wash your hands with hard water and lick your hands you taste soap, but with soft water the soap is washed away.

We had one installed during our reno since we are on well water. It helps to know the water hardness in order to select the most efficient unit. We decided on a NaCl system after reviewing costs.
If one feels slimey, it can mean that you're using too much salt. You will also need to ensure that your outside hose bibs are fed from the incoming water line and not after the water softener. Guests find that they don't need to use as much shampoo that they used to use.

you could try an in-line scale inhibitor as well, if you have hard water. I put a small one in front of the hw heater and since then the showerheads and other appliances look better at least. We have exceptionally hard water where we live, but my wife has sensitive skin and she hasn't really had the same itchiness that she occasionally had prior to this. Not that this is really designed to be a softener, but it seems to have made a difference for us anyway.
it's mostly to help with preventing buildup in the water heater, tanked or tankless both. http://www.amazon.com/Aqua-Pure-AP43...VSPZNYG1VA8GEB We change the canister every 6 months so there is some annual cost with it, but it seems to have been a good buy in our case.

We're getting a softener and filtration system installed. We have very hard water (limestone in FL) and we installed a tankless water heater so don't want to muck that or any of our new appliances up.
