17 Grains per gallon

USGS classificationVery hard

Wells run 15–35.

Anything above 10.5 grains per gallon is classified very hard. That is not a sales figure — it is what comes out of the tap here.

Cleaning removes what's
on the surface.

Hard water minerals come out of solution everywhere the water sits or dries. On the glass, where you notice. In the faucet aerators, where you don't. Inside the water heater, where it quietly costs you the appliance.

Scrubbing changes the surface. It does not change what comes out of the tap. That is the whole reason the same spots are back by Thursday.

1.6 years

How long tankless water heaters lasted on hard water in the Battelle study commissioned by the Water Quality Research Foundation. They failed from scale. The same units ran past ten years on softened water. Tested at 26 grains per gallon; Victorville runs about 17.

Everyone else makes you sit through an appointment to learn the price.

Here it is. Itemized, before anyone comes to the house.
