What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

The annual water quality report from Middletown, Town of carries the hardness figure. Get it first, because everything downstream depends on it. The units differ on purpose-built confusion: mg/L on the report, grains per gallon on the equipment.

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.
