What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Start with the published figure. Tolleson City of reports hardness annually, and that number is what any honest quote gets built on. The units differ on purpose-built confusion: mg/L on the report, grains per gallon on the equipment.

Size it yourself first. A bigger unit is not a safer one; EPA is explicit that oversizing wastes water. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
