When I bought my house I had higher levels of manganese and was told it was not harmfull.I did however notice that the sink fixtures showed some green color and I attributed that to the manganese.I was wrong.It turns out I had acidic water from salt runoff from a nearby highway and the green was actually the copper from my pipes being eaten away from the acid.Yikes!So I had to install a softener.First thing I noticed was the same slippery,"i'm not rinsed off"feeling.Either it got better or I got used to it cause I don't notice it now.I definately found I can use a lot less soap.
