A water softener is required when the hardness of your water exceeds 300 PPM or 15 grains per gallon. This is when you may notice changes in your home’s water or your health.
What water softener setting should I use?
70 times the number of people in your family (gallons of water used per day, national average). Divide the result by your water hardness in grains per gallon (to convert mg/l or ppm to grains, divide by).
