Where the water comes fromSurface water in Kershaw

Water drawn from a river or reservoir picks up much less mineral than water pulled from a well, because it has not been sitting in rock. Surface systems tend to deliver softer water than ground water systems in the same county.

Kershaw Town of (SC2910003) serves 1,248 service connections. That is drawn from the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Act file, 2026 Q2 refresh.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Ask Kershaw Town of (SC2910003) for its water quality report, or find it online — hardness is on it, and it is the number the rest of this turns on. That figure comes in milligrams per liter. Divide by about 17 to get the grains per gallon a softener is rated in.

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.
