What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

The figure you need is already published: Stedman, Town of issues an annual water quality report, and hardness is one of the lines on it. It arrives as mg/L. Equipment is rated in grains per gallon, roughly a seventeenth of the number.

From there, the sizing math takes a minute and tells you what capacity actually fits the household. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
