What this means at your house
Your water arrives with chlorine in it, at 0.8 parts per million. That is the disinfectant Madisonville Water Supply (Town of Madisonville) uses, and it is the taste people notice in coffee, in ice, and in the first glass of the day. Carbon takes it out at every tap in the house.
The hardness here is 9.1 milligrams per liter, about 0.5 grains. That is soft water by any measure, so a softener would have almost nothing to work on and we leave it out of the plan.
The water here is groundwater, pumped from Wells #1 & #2, Southern Hills aquifer.
