Interesting.. our water here is VERY soft.. as a matter of fact, we can't
use full amount of dish washer soap or washing machine soap for fear of the
suds coming out.

What effect does it have on ponds?

Well it depends on if we're talking General Hardness or Alkalinity. When I
say KH (what they have on the test box) I want to know the
Alkalinity/buffering # ppm. ~ jan
