Water Softener Installation in Croton On Hudson, NY
Croton On Hudson is supplied by Croton on Hudson Village, which draws ground 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
The water reaching Croton On Hudson comes from Croton on Hudson Village, and its source is ground. Water out of the ground has picked up whatever the rock holds, and calcium and magnesium are what hardness means. 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
You do not need a test kit to start. Croton on Hudson Village publishes hardness in its annual water quality report, free to read. It arrives as mg/L. Equipment is rated in grains per gallon, roughly a seventeenth of the number.
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.
