What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Kenly, Town of reports its hardness every year. Reading that one line takes a minute and it is the step most households skip. 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.
