Water Softener Installation in Bennett, CO

Bennett is supplied by Bennett Town of, 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.

Where the water comes fromGround water in Bennett

Ground water has spent time in contact with rock, and that contact is what puts calcium and magnesium into it. How much depends on what the rock is made of — limestone country produces the hardest water in the country.

Bennett Town of serves 2,371 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

The figure you need is already published: Bennett 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.
