How soft is your water?

The well water is supposed to be a little towards hard from the middle mark here. Maybe 60% hard.
When I was using the surface water in PA it seemed like just a tablespoon of liquid laundry detergent would make way too much suds. Here I have to use 2 whole measuring caps.

The water here is loaded with calcium, magnesium, and some salts. I only drink it when I'm working in the yard, all dirty, and just take some hand scoops from the outside faucet.

The Glacier Water vending machine at my favorite supermarket gets lots of my change @ 35c/gal.
