Nope. We have a separate un softened but filtered drinking water tap.

Sounds like you drink the softened water.
The only difference between drinking artificially softened water and normal hard water (for adults) is that drinks made with softened water taste sooooooooooooooooo much better. Really. You can actually TASTE the difference.
Drinking normal quantities of softened water for adults and older children (school age or above) does no harm at all.
The only proviso I would add to that is that its wise to make sure your diet contains calcium to supplement the lack of calcium in your drinking water.
As an additional possible benefit, those that can be susceptible to kidney stones (which are nothing more than an accumulation of excess calcium) actually drinking softened water eventually breaks down the stone and flushes it away. Without the need for surgery.
This can be a positive benefit in areas of particularly high calcium levels (hard water). Like where I live for example.
Any where in fact where water is extracted in chalky areas (ie, the North and South downs).
Harvey's the most expensive so far - they are offering me their 'Big Bertha' 1" main softener. This is the one they manufacture that is offered cheaper by their stockists.Intalled a Harvey's system late last year as I hate tea with scum on the top. We love it. No problems and the Harvey's people seem to know what they are talking about. In Hampshire we live in a v hard water area so a water softener was always going to be on the cards eventually. We have an on/off switch for the outside tap which means the gardener can water with all the normal nutrients.
No brainer as far as I am concerned....
