Slightly Hard Water (0 – 3 GPG) | Moderately Hard Water (3 – 7 GPG) | Hard Water (7 – 10 GPG) | Very Hard Water (10 – 14 GPG) |Extremely Hard Water (over 14 GPG)
A recent study from Whirlpool found that “85% of American homes have hard water – water that contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. Water hardness is measured in GPG (grains per gallon). The map above shows just how water hardness varies across the country.””
Water softeners use resin beads to swap the minerals with sodium that makes the water soft.
Hard water causes severe damage:
- reduces the lifespan of dishwasher and laundry machines
- limits the efficiency of a water heater
- clogs showerheads and sink fixtures
- make dishes look cloudy
