Is Roy hard water?

At 10-18 grains per gallon, Roy 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 Roy’s hardness means in practice

Here is what the number does. At 18.0 grains per gallon a household using the EPA average of more than 300 gallons a day moves roughly 5,400 grains of hardness a day, which works out near 282 pounds a year of the mineral that becomes scale inside a water heater.

Sized against that, a 32,000-grain softener regenerates about every 5.9 days and a 48,000-grain one about every 8.9. Both figures move once we have your own reading, which is the only one that matters for a quote.
