What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Before anyone visits, pull the hardness figure out of the annual report Lebanon, City of publishes. It settles most of the question on its own. Reports use milligrams per liter, installers use grains per gallon, and mixing the two up is how people end up oversized.

From there, the sizing math takes a minute and tells you what capacity actually fits the household. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
