Water Softener Installation in Camden, OH
Camden is supplied by Camden, Village 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.
The short version
Camden, Village of supplies Camden from a ground source. Groundwater has been in contact with rock, which is where calcium and magnesium come from, so hardness is the likelier finding. Hardness is published annually by the supplier, and that one figure is what a softener decision should rest on.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure
Camden, Village 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.
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.
