Our service professional can explain water hardness to you. The hardness of your water is the amount of dissolved magnesium and calcium in it. Hard water levels include the following:
- 0–3 grains per gallon do not require softening.
- 3–7 gpg may cause dry skin and spotty dishes.
- 7–11 gpg may cause corrosion on your pipes and faucets.
- 11–15 gpg is extremely hard on your plumbing fixtures, skin, and hair.
- Anything over 15 gpg is considered extremely hard water.
Why Do You Need Water Filters?
A water filter helps remove impurities from your water, including taste, sediment, hardness, and bacteria. Water filters help your water and ice taste better. If you don’t want to drink water straight from the spout or worry about impurities in your water, a water filter is perfect for your home.
