Water Softener Installation in Kersey, CO

Kersey is supplied by Kersey WD, which draws surface water. That one fact does more to predict whether a softener is worth it here than anything a salesperson will ask you on the phone.

Where the water comes fromSurface water in Kersey

Water drawn from a river or reservoir picks up much less mineral than water pulled from a well, because it has not been sitting in rock. Surface systems tend to deliver softer water than ground water systems in the same county.

Kersey WD serves 502 service connections. The number is self-reported to the EPA and current to 2026 Q2.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Kersey WD publishes an annual water quality report and the hardness figure is in it, so this costs you nothing but the time to look. Expect it in milligrams per liter; equipment is sized in grains per gallon. The conversion is roughly 17 to one.

Size it yourself first. A bigger unit is not a safer one; EPA is explicit that oversizing wastes water. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
