All detergents will work better with treated water and you will be able to reduce the amount you use. However, there are mineral deposits and scale coating the inside of your pipes and fixtures.
Pelican PSE1800/PSE2000 Premium Whole House Water Filter & Salt Free Water Softener/Conditioner Combo PSE1800-2000 Rev M Page 15 If you have a dishwasher: Generally, the NS3/NS6 NaturSoft system removes mineral hardness from solution and forms micro crystals; it does not physically remove the natural minerals from the water. Harsh chemicals, specifically acidic (low pH) detergents or rinse agents, can re-dissolve these crystals. This reduces the desired effect.
