I'm grumpy from thinking about the $15K I spent to have mediocre water (major upgrade from terrible).

I was unaware Florida had hard water, and I used to work on laundry detergents back in the day.  

I learn things here often.

I use RO to prepare brewing water. That was a pretty solid change to beer quality.

I sell and install water softeners as part of my business. Most of our groundwater is 7-10 grains, but we can also have iron. We also have wells with 20 grains or more.

The variation in water hardness throughout Iowa influences not only the taste and aesthetics of the water but also the efficiency of soaps and detergents, plumbing maintenance, and the lifespan of appliances that utilize water. Given the state’s geological diversity, water hardness is not uniform, highlighting the need for localized water treatment solutions and ongoing monitoring of water quality.

In the provided data, the water hardness levels show substantial variations across different cities in Iowa. Among the cities for which data is reported, the highest water hardness level is recorded in Hiawatha with a hardness of 291.0 ppm, 17.0 gpg. Conversely, the city with the lowest recorded water hardness level is Iowa City, reporting a hardness of 107.5 ppm, 6.3 gpg.

Our TDS was 440. Now it's 180. I could get it lower with an RO system added on to what I already have.

It's 100 out of the fridge, which is what we drink.

TDS usually runs 800-1200 here on well water.

That's what it is here before it comes out of the treatment plant.
