More than one supplierThe systems serving Asheboro

EPA lists 7 community water systems here. They do not all draw from the same place, so hardness at one address in town can differ from hardness at another. Check which one bills you before you act on anyone else's figure.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

You do not need a test kit to start. Asheboro, City of publishes hardness in its annual water quality report, free to read. Utilities publish milligrams per liter; the trade talks in grains per gallon. Seventeen of the first make one of the second.

Put it through the sizing calculation and you will know what to accept and what to refuse. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
