  • 0-3 gpg = Soft Water
  • 3-6 gpg = Moderately Hard Water
  • 6-9 gpg = Hard Water
  • 9+ gpg = Extremely Hard Water
Hard water causes scum buildup and leaves the foggy film on your glassware. It'll also cause your appliances to lose their longevity and your skin to dry out faster than it should.

Measured in parts per million (PPM), you want as little iron as possible.

You want this number to be as close to 7.0 - or neutral - as possible.The lower the reported number, the more acidic the water is. The higher the number, the more alkaline your water is.With more acidic water, you:

  • May have pipes corroding a leaching unhealthy metals into your water

Likely Water Treatment Solutions for You:

These change your water by removing the invisible or adding elements to the water.  Water treatment can remove calcium (hard water), iron which causes staining or raises the pH in acidic water by adding calcium to the water. A UV light is used to remove bacteria or any type of ozone or chlorine.

Softeners are a type of water treatment that corrects hard water by removing the calcium and adding a very minute amount of sodium. Then the unit performs a self-cleaning backwash cycle that gets rid of the calcium.

Filtration uses a filter or cartridge to remove visible particles like sand, grit; and particles like chlorine and iron that are just small enough to be invisible to the naked eye.
