softened water?

I just got a water softener installed at my house and I wondered if anyone has used or uses water that is softened. I know that it makes it seem like you can't get the soap off and that has to do with the surface tension effect.

If I use the softened soap would I need that much less slip agent? I have used distilled water before and didn't find a real difference for my slip over just regular tap water.

I normally use tap water from each of the shops I tint at and have not had much of any problems with anything. I just thought that I might get away with using even less slip solution than I do now.....

anyway....anyone??

let us know

Using softened water will leave salt in the film. Certain films corrode such as silver based films and will cause issues with softened water.

some film companies like llu%#r will void there flat glass warranty if distilled water was not used according to tom ...
