How to read the numbers
Tucson Water classifies hardness (mg/L as calcium carbonate) as 0–60 soft, 60–120 moderate, 120–180 hard and 180+ very hard (Tucson Water). To convert mg/L (ppm) to grains per gallon, divide by 17.1 (same source).
Hardness varies by neighborhood and water source, so test your own tap before programming a softener (how to set it).
What hard water does
Phoenix's water report notes that hard water can cause scaling in pipes and water heaters and on fixtures (City of Phoenix). See 7 signs you need a softener, or compare softener vs. RO.
