The Benefits:
Lompoc is a city in Santa Barbara County, California. The city was incorporated on August 13, 1888. Lompoc was originally intended to be named New Vineland, after the temperance colony in New Jersey. It then became a military town with the completion of nearby Camp Cooke, which is now known as Vandenberg Air Force Base. The city is known as the flower seed capital of the world. Today, Lompoc is called "The City of Arts and Flowers" and is also becoming known for its wines. Before European settlers arrived, the area around Lompoc was inhabited by the Chumash people. The name of the city is derived from a Chumashan term, "Lum Poc", which means "stagnant waters" or "lagoon". The Spanish called it "Lumpoco".
The hardness of water is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). One grain of hardness is equal to 1 / 7,000 pound of rock. Your municipal water supply may measure water hardness in milligrams (mg), liters (L) or parts per million (ppm). One gpg is equal to 17.1 mg / L or 17.1 ppm.
The rated capacity of a softener is the maximum number of grains of water hardness the unit can remove prior to regeneration.
To determine the appropriate water softener size for your home, multiply the number of people in your home by the gallons of water they use each day. (80 gallons per person is the average.) Multiply that number by the grains of hardness in your water to figure out how many grains need to be removed each day. Then, shop for a water softener equipped to handle the load. Most four-person households use a 33,000-grain unit.
It uses about as much as a digital alarm clock.
