I am purchasing a new water softener system, what should I test for, and what are the EPA recommended guidelines for these analytes?


Water softeners are designed to decrease levels of calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, sodium, and sulfate. They also optimize pH, hardness, and conductivity levels. We recommend our Water Softener Performance Kit to help determine what type of softener system and settings you need. Refer to EPA Guidelines for Human Consumption.
