1. Each person has different usage requirements. According to this link: https://water.usgs.gov/edu/qa-home-percapita.html the average person uses between 80-100 gallons of water each day. For our capacity calculations we will utilize 80 gallons of usage. According to this web page: https://phoenix.gov/waterservices/quality/index.html
Water hardness is measured by the presence of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium in tap water. These minerals originate from the soils our source water comes into contact with as it travels from and through watersheds to Phoenix’s water treatment plants. These minerals are leached into the water. Hard water can cause some types of scaling in pipes and water heaters, and on plumbing fixtures such as faucets and showerheads. Many people choose to install water softening devices that reduce the hardness in water. While the city cannot make recommendations as to the type or brand of device, we do suggest that those interested in purchasing a water softening system should contact the Arizona Water Quality Association at 480-947-9850.
If you already have a water softening system, and it needs to be set based on the “Total Hardness” level [usually indicated by Grains per Gallon or Parts Per Million (ppm)]. The settings for Phoenix tap water are listed below. Due to the size of the Phoenix water system and variations in source water throughout the year, the hardness numbers are reported as a range. So when setting your water softening equipment, it is suggested that the initial setting should be in the middle of that range, then adjust the setting to your preference as needed.
The Total Hardness (Range) is 11-17 Grains per gallon.
For our calculations we are going to utilize 14 grains per gallon.
If one person utilizes 80 gallons of water per day and the average hardness in the Phoenix metro area is 14 – the daily grains required is (80 X 14 = 1,120) ‘total grains of softening capacity needed every day for one person’.
1,120 ‘total grains of softening capacity needed every day for one person’ X 30 days in each month = 33,600 ‘total grains of softening capacity needed every month for one person’

This is the picture taken at our safety meeting yesterday.
Can you guess which one of us is a famous former ASU lineman football player? This person may be providing water service to your home. He is very capable and a very affable individual. He likes cookies too. I’m just saying.
Our Dan was recruited to the ASU football team by this now famous former NFL player:
This most outstanding individual was recently given great recognition from ASU for his unbelievable athletic abilities; his great contributions to the sport and his civic and community service.
I am fortunate to play my fiddle in the Red Mountain Bluegrass Band with his brother Johnny. So I get to see this famous man occasionally. I find him to be a very humble and a very friendly man.
Roberta and I are very proud of this finest group of water treatment professionals. We feel this is the finest crew we have had in our 48 years’ experience as owners of this water treatment business.
Won’t you please be so kind and allow us the honour and privilege to treat your water? We all work very hard to please you and anticipate your every need and desire.

TO BUILD A STORY OF OUR PE TANK LAYDOWN PROCESS
As the valley began to grow we realized that we need to develop a process to give new homeowners a sample of soft water – effectively and affordably (circa 1996). At this time the population in the Phoenix Metro area of Arizona was 1.1 million people (https://www.city-data.com/city/Phoenix-Arizona.html). Therefore, we designed a simple installation method to solve hard water problems immediately.
This is a brochure of our flagship product:
We call this product our portable exchange soft water tank service.
This tank is designed to stand upright. However, standing this tank upright is not always the most accommodating to aesthetics. Therefore, our product development team went to work to design an affective solution. We came up with the portable exchange cradles and covers concept.
This picture represents a portable exchange tank laying on cradles:
This picture represents the portable exchange tank cover resting over the portable exchange tank (which is laying on the cradles).
This installation method is efficient and affordable. The standard installation costs is $75.00. One person can receive this soft water service each month for $39.00/month plus tax. A family of two can receive this service for $43.00/month plus tax.
These next two pictures represent tank covers that are ready to be delivered.
This picture represents stacks of cradles ready to solve hard water problems in Arizona. We are ready to take action when you need a soft water solution for your hard water problems. Boyett’s Family Rayne Water Conditioning solves hard water problems in Arizona.
