What to do with thatGet your hardness figure

You do not need a test kit to start. Rocky Mount, Town of publishes hardness in its annual water quality report, free to read. Whatever it reads in milligrams per liter, divide by seventeen before comparing it with anything a softener is rated at.

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.
