What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Ask Venice Water Dept City of for its water quality report, or find it online — hardness is on it, and it is the number the rest of this turns on. Utilities publish milligrams per liter; the trade talks in grains per gallon. Seventeen of the first make one of the second.

Next, the calculation — people, gallons, grains. It is the difference between a checkable quote and a trusted one. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
