Tooele, Utah Water Hardness & Water Softener Guide
Tooele has hard water at about 15 grains per gallon — here is what that means for your home and how to fix it.
Where Tooele’s water comes from
Tooele’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 15 grains per gallon hard?
Yes. Water above 7 gpg is considered hard, so Tooele 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 Tooele
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.
