Is pH the same as hardness?
- April 5, 2024 |
While they are linked, pH is different than hardness, which is the measure of the mineral content of the water, typically measured by dissolved calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The harder the water, the less easily soap will lather. Typically ranging between 25 and 40 ppm, our water tends to be moderately soft, and this will not change. Hardness is also sometimes given in grains per gallon, with our water generally having between 1.4 and 2.4 grains per gallon.
