Consumer reports recommend having your water tested and considering installing a conventional water softener. This is the best way so far to remove the minerals that create hard water. Also, a salt ion exchange type of softener can be used with potassium chloride if there is a problem with salt.
Additional Information
To get your water tested for hardness, you should mail an 8 ounce sample to The Water Company, at 151 North Main or 700 Centre City Plaza in St. Wichita, Kansas, 67202-1408. The Water Company is a division of Porta Via Water Company. The Water Company can be called toll free at 877-262-5191 or e-mailed at pvwc@goodwaterco.com. They test your water for hardness, iron, and correct pH levels.
