Water Hardness Testing in Midland, TX
Short answer: A hardness test measures calcium and magnesium in grains per gallon or parts per million. It tells you what size of softener you need.

What this involves
Test strips are fine for a quick look. A provider can run a more accurate test on site, and a lab can add iron, pH and TDS. Use the result to size the system properly.
Things to know before you call
Use your result to compare treatment options. If you already know you need one, our Midland water softener installation page explains the next step.
Prices depend on the unit, the plumbing and the provider, so we don't quote a number here. Ask for a written estimate. Calling is free, and an independent Midland provider does the work.
