Water Softener Installation in Reidsville, NC

The short version
The water reaching Reidsville comes from Reidsville, City of, and its source is surface. Water taken from a river or a reservoir has had little chance to pick up hardness, and often does not need treating. The annual water quality report carries the hardness figure, and that number settles the question before any equipment is sized.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure
Reidsville, City of publishes an annual water quality report and the hardness figure is in it, so this costs you nothing but the time to look. Utilities publish milligrams per liter; the trade talks in grains per gallon. Seventeen of the first make one of the second.
With the figure in hand, sizing is one multiplication — water per person, times hardness, times people. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
