What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Sneads, Town of Water System publishes an annual water quality report and the hardness figure is in it, so this costs you nothing but the time to look. That figure comes in milligrams per liter. Divide by about 17 to get the grains per gallon a softener is rated in.

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.
