So far, I've turned off the water softener and bypassed it. The stickiness remains after I wash my hands in the hard water. I still do not have the same effect with the water at the apartment. I do notice a heavy chlorine smell from the tap; not sure if that might be to blame. I'm still finalizing my filter setup. I'm leaning toward a finer filter with carbon to clean out chemicals and organic materials.
As far as "zinc microbes", I'm quite confused. Zinc is a mineral, and microbes are microorganisms. There are no such things as "zinc microbes". From what I can tell from a cursory Google search, Zinc alters microbe cultures and environments and inhibits growth.
