we've got the other kind of softener, the kind you put salt in and its FAB skin and hair nicer, towels softer etcet. What the electronic ones do is change temporary hardness (the kind that will boil out in your kettle) to permanent hardness. The soap will still be scummy and the water will still be hard but it won't crust up your kettle or pipes....can't see the point myself, having lived with naturally permanently hard water, the towels still come out crunchy and my skin still itched.
