What local testing usually reveals
Water testing in this area often reveals high levels of hardness, typically ranging from 10 to 15 grains per gallon, primarily due to the local geology. Additionally, tests may show elevated levels of iron, which can lead to staining on fixtures and laundry. It is common to encounter slightly acidic water, which can result in corrosion of plumbing materials over time.
Understanding these results is key to determining your treatment needs. Hardness is expressed in grains per gallon (gpg), while iron levels are measured in parts per million (ppm). For effective treatment, a water softening system like the Pentair Autotrol Logix 268 Prefo w/760 is suitable for addressing these specific issues, ensuring your water is soft and free from staining elements.
