Daily Water Usage: gallons
Total Grains Needed per Day:
You should choose a water softener with a minimum capacity of grains.
Water Hardness:
Daily Water Usage:
Regeneration Frequency:
Daily Softening Requirement=(Water Hardness×Daily Water Usage)
Columns: Typically, you’ll find columns labeled with various water hardness levels (e.g., 5 gpg, 10 gpg, 20 gpg, etc.).
Rows: Rows might be labeled with daily water usage in gallons (e.g., 200, 300, 400 gallons, etc.) or the number of people in the household.
Cells: Where a column and row intersect, you’ll find the recommended size of the water softener, usually indicated in cubic feet of resin or grain capacity (e.g., 30,000 grains, 40,000 grains, etc.).

Identify the Recommended Size:
Choose a Slightly Larger Size: It’s often recommended to choose a softener slightly larger than your calculated need to ensure efficiency and longevity.
Consider Peak Usage: Ensure the system can handle peak usage times without compromising on water quality.
Professional Consultation: It’s always a good idea to consult with a water treatment professional to confirm your calculations and choices.
Remember that the exact layout and information provided in a water softener sizing chart can vary between manufacturers and models, so always refer to the specific chart provided by the manufacturer or consult with a professional for accurate sizing.
