Every person in your home uses water. The average person goes through about 80 gallons per day. That includes showers, laundry, washing dishes, and yes, that long bath you take on Sundays.
Let’s say you’ve got a family of four. That’s 320 gallons of water running through your pipes every single day. A couple living alone? That’s only 160 gallons. See where this is going?
Write that number down. It’s the soul of your future softener. Don’t worry about being perfect—just use a round number like 300 for a family or 150 for a pair.
