Water Softener Installation in Myrtle Beach, SC

Myrtle Beach is supplied by Myrtle Beach City of (SC2610001), which draws surface 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 Myrtle Beach is Myrtle Beach City of (SC2610001), drawing surface water. Water taken from a river or a reservoir has had little chance to pick up hardness, and often does not need treating. Whether a softener is worth installing turns on the hardness figure that supplier publishes each year, not on anything assessed over the telephone.

SoftenWell is a referral service, not an installer. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We install nothing, we sell no equipment, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

Before anyone visits, pull the hardness figure out of the annual report Myrtle Beach City of (SC2610001) publishes. It settles most of the question on its own. It will be given in milligrams per liter. Softeners are sized in grains per gallon, and one grain is about 17 mg/L.

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.
