The short version
Pageland City of (SC1310003) supplies Pageland from a ground source. Water out of the ground has picked up whatever the rock holds, and calcium and magnesium are what hardness means. 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
Pageland City of (SC1310003) reports its hardness every year. Reading that one line takes a minute and it is the step most households skip. It will be given in milligrams per liter. Softeners are sized in grains per gallon, and one grain is about 17 mg/L.
Put it through the sizing calculation and you will know what to accept and what to refuse. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
