What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Daleville (Town of) reports its hardness every year. Reading that one line takes a minute and it is the step most households skip. Expect it in milligrams per liter; equipment is sized in grains per gallon. The conversion is roughly 17 to one.

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.
