Where the water comes fromGround water in Middleton

Water drawn from below ground has had time to dissolve whatever the rock will give it. Calcium and magnesium are the two that matter here, because together they are what the word hardness means.

Middleton City of serves 5,135 service connections. The number is self-reported to the EPA and current to 2026 Q2.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Middleton City of publishes an annual water quality report and the hardness figure is in it, so this costs you nothing but the time to look. Utilities publish milligrams per liter; the trade talks in grains per gallon. Seventeen of the first make one of the second.

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.
