Hard Water and detergent ? and wipes warmer?

I got a hard water strip test today and it said my city water is hard.  Any recs on what to buy?

Also, my GF is using a cloth wipes warmer and loves it and the cloth diaper store women also said she used a wipes warmer...I was planning on getting a squirt bottle of water and using dry wipes.  What's your opinion? If I use the warmer do I just put water in it or do I have to use a solution of some sort?

Thanks!

    no first hand experience with the water, but I know a lot of people recommend Tiny Bubbles, Rockin Green Hard Rock, and Tide powder. Search the boards and see if I missed any.

    I have hard water. I use Tiny Bubbles and have had no issues.

    As for wipes, I use a plastic sandwich container, and pour a little water over the wipes so they are moist and use them like that. Never used a wipe warmer.

    I use a wipe warmer and Love it.  I fold up 25 wipes put them in there and use Ruby Moon wipe bits, I also add two drops of tea tree oil to avoid mold/mildew.  When I rewet the bottom pad I use around 4 drops of TTO in the hot water.  I've NEVER had a problem with this routine in 14 months. 

    I keep a stack of dry wipes next to the wipe warmer.  I find I like a dry wipe when she has a real explosive poo to get the majority of it off.  We also dry her off with one after we wipe her - so the only rashes we have had have been medication or food related(antibiotic - then the one time she ate 1/4 cup of blueberries - long story) related.  It may seem like more work but it is just a few seconds and I truely believe it has saved her from some nasty rashes.
