[quote=Anonymous]"The area water hardness is around 305." ?? Not around here it isn't. Not 305 grains anyway. Perhaps 305 PPM which divided by 17 PPM = 18 Grains. The water from WSSC which comes from the Potomac river is about 7-10 grains. Anyway, a water softener is awesome. Your hair and skin will thank you. Do not use Rinse Aid in your dishwasher anymore as your dishes will come out sparkling clean and use about 1/2 as much detergent in your laundry. The amount of sodium it adds to the water is no concern. I do recommend asking the water treatment company to add a tank with 1 cubic foot of activated carbon ahead of the softener to remove all the chlorine from your water. Your fridge filter has about an ounce of carbon, same as a Britta or any inline filter and no, it does not remove minerals or soften your water. It makes the water taste good by getting rid of the chlorine. [/quote]
