Lots to consider. Seems diverting or setting up only certain faucets for softened water is a must. I never thought about salt content in water heater too although as mentioned they don't last long as it is.

I don't know what to look for in our water report for the city. I probably need independent test.

If anyone knows what specifically to look for on this report please advise... I'm certain it's hard water though. I can feel on my skin and just by the faucets, etc.
