What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Start with the published figure. Avondale City of reports hardness annually, and that number is what any honest quote gets built on. Whatever it reads in milligrams per liter, divide by seventeen before comparing it with anything a softener is rated at.

Then run the arithmetic: it tells you the capacity you need rather than the capacity you are offered. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
