Ivins, Utah Water Hardness & Water Softener Guide
Ivins has hard water at about 15 grains per gallon — here is what that means for your home and how to fix it.
Where Ivins’s water comes from
Ivins’s water comes primarily from WCWCD and Gunlock Reservoir. 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 15 grains per gallon hard?
Yes. Water above 7 gpg is considered hard, so Ivins at 15 gpg is hard — well above the national average. Hard water shortens the life of water heaters and appliances, spots dishes and glass, clogs fixtures, and dries skin and hair.
What CASA recommends in Ivins
A water softener is recommended to cut scale and protect your appliances. For drinking and cooking, pair it with a reverse-osmosis system, and add whole-home carbon filtration to remove chlorine taste and odor at every tap.
