When I visited relatives with soft water, in the shower I always felt too slick and not yet clean. Now I'm in the midst of a crisis because this house MAY have had a softener in it by design, and because of that, some PEX plumbing is under the garage slab and leaking up thru the hole in the slab and flooding a bedroom instead of just going up into the attic and being noticed immediately.. I might have noticed sooner, but most of the water was soaked up by my vinyl collection, audio equipment, camping gear, boxes, etc. Storage room. At least it's PEX. Could be much worse, right? No. Property manager is considering this whole screwed up system. Laundry room hot on right. Ice maker might be hot, also. The plumbing could have been extremely simple and all contained it the attic, straight down the centerline of the building. Easy peasy, even WITH a softner. Shyt contractor/designer. '95 btw Edit: Forgot part of the story. Most of the water/mold was around the air return duct and got aerosolized and fed back to me constantly since last November at least.

RO systems are typically installed only at the kitchen sink because you don't need to shower or flush the toilet with "pure" water. Typically speaking, people install a water softener to treat the water that goes on you (shower/dishes/etc.) and install a RO system for the water that goes in you (drinking/cooking.) You can put in a RO system without a softener, however your filters are likely to see more wear.

This is overly simplistic. I've seen installations where hot water is softened, and only cold water in bathrooms and laundry. The softener is installed ahead of the hot water heater with branches elsewhere. Also, the kitchen sink facet is often times left hard with a bypass so you are drinking "mineral" water vs. softened water. Water to outside spigots should be hard too, otherwise you'll be watering plants with softened water. Some people wash cars with outside spigots, in which case you may want it soft. And while I know they say the exchange and flush gets rid of the salt... there is some residual sodium.
