Can someone please help find a solution for my extremely hard water washing machine?

I live in Switzerland where the water in my apartment is very very ‘hard’. As a result, my cotton clothes always come out almost immediately ‘crunchy’ and completely lose their softness immediately and pretty noticeably. This includes T-Shirts, Jeans, Sweatshirts etc.

I’ve been using less detergent, and tried using vinegar in the softener section, but not really any luck. I also bought Calgon 4in1 which I threw as a tab in the drum, but because the final rinse cycle doesn’t use it, it re-applies that hard water and the clothes are still uncomfortable.

Aside from literally speaking to my landlord about adding a softener to the piping, anyone have any brilliant ideas?
