You should have soft water in your house for many reasons. For one, it is much easier on your plumbing system and appliances. This is because soft water has few minerals in it, as opposed to hard water, which is full of minerals.  This means that soft water will not build up mineral deposits in your pipes and appliances, leading to significant problems down the line.  As well as being much kinder to your skin and hair, soft water also contains much less chlorine than hard water. Because of the minerals in hard water, your skin can become dry and itchy hair and even cause damage over time. So, if you're looking for a way to save your plumbing system and appliances and to keep your skin and hair healthy and hydrated, soft water is the only way.
