These two minerals come from the rock in which your artesian well is drilled. Water hardness is measured in mg\/L of CaCO3 (milligrams per liter of calcium carbonate) or in GPG (grains of hardness per gallon).<br \/>But once the problem has been identified, what options are available to you? As a first step, it is essential to measure this hardness with an analysis. Consult\u2019EAU can measure this parameter for you at no cost!

It is important to choose a device that is neither too large nor too small. A softener that is too large will not regenerate frequently enough, which can reduce its effectiveness. With a device that is too small, there is a risk of not having enough contact time, thereby reducing its ability to do the job properly. Consult\u2019EAU is here to guide you through this step!<br \/>Once the right device has been selected, you need to ensure that you can properly dispose of the device&#8217;s wash water and determine the ideal location for installation.
