How hard is Northern Utah water?

Most homes along the Wasatch Front — Ogden, Layton, Bountiful and the surrounding cities — draw water from the Weber River and mountain aquifers. As that water passes through limestone it picks up calcium and magnesium, so hardness here commonly runs from about 7 to 15+ grains per gallon, and many homes also see chlorine taste, sediment, or other contaminants worth filtering. Hard water spots glasses, crusts up faucets and water heaters, dries skin and hair, and makes soap hard to rinse.

Use the calculators below to plan the right whole-home setup. The softener calculator sizes grain capacity and salt use to your hardness and household; the filtration and reverse-osmosis tools help you compare options for cleaner drinking and cooking water; and the savings estimator weighs the cost of treatment against what hard water quietly costs you in appliances, detergent and energy.
