What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

The figure you need is already published: Leesburg, Town of issues an annual water quality report, and hardness is one of the lines on it. 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.
