What to do with thatGet your hardness figure
Start with the published figure. Santuck Hebron Water Co (SC4420007) reports hardness annually, and that number is what any honest quote gets built on. Reports use milligrams per liter, installers use grains per gallon, and mixing the two up is how people end up oversized.
The sizing calculation is a single multiplication, and doing it yourself turns a quote into something you can check. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
