Mount Pleasant, Utah Water Hardness & Water Softener Guide
Mount Pleasant has moderately hard water at about 12 grains per gallon — here is what that means for your home and how to fix it.
Where Mount Pleasant’s water comes from
Mount Pleasant’s water comes primarily from Mountain springs and wells. 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 12 grains per gallon hard?
Yes. Water above 7 gpg is considered hard, so Mount Pleasant at 12 gpg is moderately 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 Mount Pleasant
A water softener is optional here but improves taste and protects fixtures and 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.
