01
Four inputs that matter
Bring the installer a current hardness result, regular occupant count, high-flow fixtures and any iron result.
- Hardness at the home
- Average daily gallons
- Peak simultaneous flow
- Preferred days between regenerations
02
Avoid chronic oversizing
A giant tank can sit too long between regenerations or be programmed inefficiently. Ask for the calculation and settings, not just a maximum badge.
03
Plan for Lehi growth
New households often add finished basements, larger showers or family members. Size for realistic near-term demand without paying for unused capacity.
Questions
Make the next conversation clearer.
What does 48,000 grain mean?+
Often it is a marketing maximum rather than the efficient programmed capacity. Ask for resin volume and capacity at the proposed salt dose.
Is a twin-tank system necessary?+
It can help where continuous soft water and high demand justify it, but many homes are well served by a correctly sized single metered tank.
