I am not a fan of "softened" water. Essentially, it removes calcium and replaces it with sodium. I'd sooner use straight tap (for hoggies or a reef!) than a salt-type water softener. I have an RO/DI unit for my aquariums, but do not use it for my snakes. I tend to think there are beneficial trace elements in water that are removed by it.
