Grains of Hardness and Grain Capacity: Breaking Down the Essentials
Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon (GPG). The higher the GPG, the harder your water.
Water softeners have a grain capacity, which indicates how many grains of hardness they can remove before needing to regenerate.
Factors Affecting Water Softener Size
Several factors influence the size of water softener you need:
How to Calculate Grain Capacity
Here's a general formula to estimate the grain capacity you need:
Number of people in household x Average daily water usage (gallons) x Water hardness (GPG) x 7 = Grain capacity
Example: A family of four uses 80 gallons of water per day, with a water hardness of 15 GPG.
They would need a softener with a grain capacity of at least 33,600.
Common Size Recommendations:
Additional Considerations:
Consulting a Professional for Accurate Recommendations
For the most accurate sizing recommendations, consult a water treatment professional. They can test your water hardness and assess your specific needs.
Remember, choosing the right size water softener is essential for ensuring its effectiveness and efficiency. By understanding the factors involved and following these guidelines, you can select the perfect fit for your home.
