I had a good laugh at that.   Just about 20 years ago I had my water tested by a place here, "Angel Soft", and they said the exact same thing... word for word.

However, my water is really hard and I do need the softener.  But the goofy sales pitch stuck with me to this day.
BTW.  The "soap and shampoo" line didn't sway me.   My sink aerators getting crusted with lime/calcium is what made the decision.

I've bought a couple systems from them and I'm very happy with the pricing and service. When you're ready and get your water tested (assuming you don't mind a little plumbing) , give these guys a try. I've bought a couple systems from them and I'm very happy with the pricing and service.

I came to a stop sign and a skanky tweaker chick in a tube top climbed out of the brush and propositioned me.  She looked like she didn't have any teeth so I counted that as a plus.

Sears sells systems and apparently the salesmen don't get a commission on the water softener systems because when I had them test my water he told me point blank, "You water is not hard; you don't need a water softener system".

Most fo1k's water isn't hard. But softeners are easier to sell than other equipment.

I wouldn't buy anything without testing my water and consulting with someone who knows how to fix it... if needed.
