Is Clinton hard water?
At 10-18 grains per gallon, Clinton sits in the very hard band — above about 10.5 grains per gallon is very hard on the USGS scale. Scale shows up first inside the water heater, then on fixtures and glass. See the hardness scale.
What Clinton’s hardness means in practice
The practical question is how often a softener has to regenerate, and that falls out of two numbers. Take 18.0 grains per gallon against the EPA average of more than 300 gallons a day and you get about 5,400 grains a day, or roughly 282 pounds of hardness mineral a year through the heater and the fixtures.
A 32,000-grain unit therefore cycles about every 5.9 days, a 48,000-grain one about every 8.9. Those are estimates from a published figure rather than a quote — we measure your tap and size to that.
