The hardness of our water will vary depending on how much they are pumping from the upper and lower aquifer. Here in Osceola Hills when I measureed, we had 12-13 grains which is not too hard and not too soft. We got a Nova softener and are very happy with it. The price is fair and all we need to do is fill the salt bin up once a month.
If you purchase a softener please don't go and buy an expensive one. All salt based softeners work on the same principal. There is no magic. Some have better build qualities over others or may have an automatic bypass valve but the way it works is the same. I like Nova vs the Home Depot or Lowes softeners because if anything goes wrong, Nova is local and I can get parts or service in a day vs dealing with a big box company who has to ship parts to you or use a third party repair company.
