~RD WATER—DO YOU ~VE IT?

Before you can decide what to do about hard water, you need to know if you have it and, if so, how hard it is.

If you 1 ive in a municipal area, contact your water company.

[f you 1 ive in a rural area, or in some suburban areas, contact your county agent.

The answer will be “you have ‘so many grains’ per gallon (3.8 liters).” This means:

0 to 3.5 grains per gallon (3.8 liters)—SOFT

3.6 to 7 grains—HARD

7.1to 10.5 grains—VERY HARD

10.6grains and over—EXTREMELY HARD

If your water is SOFT, you have no problem. You can use soap or detergent as you prefer and forget all about hard water. If you have HARD water—less than 10 grains—and you use phosphate detergent, you also have no problem.

But, if you have more than 10 grains, you will need to soften your water with either . . .

1.An installed water softener in your home, or

2.The use of a packaged water softener.

For information on water softeners, see the manufacturer’s recommendations.
