Clearfield, Utah Water Hardness & Water Softener Guide
Clearfield has very hard water at about 19 grains per gallon — here is what that means for your home and how to fix it.
Where Clearfield’s water comes from
Clearfield’s water comes primarily from Weber Basin WCD. As that water moves through Utah’s mineral-rich geology it picks up calcium and magnesium — the minerals that make water hard and leave scale behind.
Is 19 grains per gallon hard?
Yes. Water above 7 gpg is considered hard, so Clearfield at 19 gpg is very hard — among the hardest water in the country. Hard water shortens the life of water heaters and appliances, spots dishes and glass, clogs fixtures, and dries skin and hair.
