Water Softener Installation in Jackson Center, OH
Jackson Center is supplied by Jackson Center Village PWS, 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
The supplier for Jackson Center is Jackson Center Village PWS, drawing ground water. Groundwater has been in contact with rock, which is where calcium and magnesium come from, so hardness is the likelier finding. Whether a softener is worth installing turns on the hardness figure that supplier publishes each year, not on anything assessed over the telephone.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure
Ask Jackson Center Village PWS 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.
Work out your grains per day before anyone quotes you. Oversizing is the common and expensive mistake. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
