Jim, water hardness generally uses a a range of 1-15, 12+ is very hard and where softeners are frequently used.
Here according to our utility it is 8.6 -9., that's not really considered hard.
I think you should be concerned with the contaminants or pollutants in our water that causes problems such as you describe.
The CDC stated there is no negative effect from hard water and they are referring to the 12+ type.
Remember that water softeners don't remove the contaminants or pollutants to the degree the Nova triple does.
If your not convinced you can get the Triple and softener for $1250, but try the Triple first for $495, I never had anyone ask to add a softener after over 300 installs.
Call me to discuss further if you like.
