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

Pendleton Town of (SC0410006) 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.

Next, the calculation — people, gallons, grains. It is the difference between a checkable quote and a trusted one. If your fixtures also stain orange, iron has to be settled first — oxidized iron clogs softener resin.
