Water Softener Installation in Grover, NC
Grover is supplied by Grover, Town of, 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.
The short version
Households in Grover are served by Grover, Town of, drawing surface water. Surface water has had far less contact with rock, so it is more often soft enough to leave alone. Read the hardness line in the annual report before letting anybody specify a softener for the house.

Where the water comes fromSurface water in Grover
Surface water has spent far less time against rock than well water has, so it usually arrives softer. That does not make a softener pointless here, but it does mean the case for one has to be made on a test rather than assumed.
Grover, Town of serves 386 service connections. The number is self-reported to the EPA and current to 2026 Q2.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure
Ask Grover, Town of for its water quality report, or find it online — hardness is on it, and it is the number the rest of this turns on. Utilities publish milligrams per liter; the trade talks in grains per gallon. Seventeen of the first make one of the second.
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.
