Water Softener Installation in Castle Rock, CO

Where the water comes fromSurface water in Castle Rock

This is a surface water supply, which matters for hardness: the water has not spent years in an aquifer dissolving calcium out of stone. Expect a lower figure than a neighboring town on wells.

Castle Rock Town of serves 27,865 service connections. The number is self-reported to the EPA and current to 2026 Q2.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Before anyone visits, pull the hardness figure out of the annual report Castle Rock Town of publishes. It settles most of the question on its own. That figure comes in milligrams per liter. Divide by about 17 to get the grains per gallon a softener is rated in.

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.
