MRD WATER—DO YOU ~~ 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 live in a municipal area, contact your

water company.

●If you live 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)” and means this:

O to 3 grains per gallon (3.8 liters)—SO~

4 to 10 grains—HARD

11 to 19 grains—VERY HARD

20 grains 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 guide below.
