What size of water softener do i need?

[javastasiadistributors@gm]

The TDS in my water is 140ppm.......I have 3 IBA touchless systems and uses about 8000 gallons of water per day........What size of water softener should I buy.

How many grains of hardness is your water? A water softener is not designed to reduce the TDS but exchanges mineral ions for sodium. Or something like that.

Test the water with one of these if you don't have one.

You need to know your hardness (grains) and your maximum flow (gallons per minute) to size your softener.

One other important note is are you softening all of the water or just on the presoak? With 140ppm I don't really see the need to soften all of the water.
