American Fork water,
measured not guessed.
American Fork answers the hardness question directly: 12.38 grains per gallon, from six deep wells and a spring up American Fork Canyon. At 212 mg/L that lands in the USGS very-hard band — enough to scale a water heater element and leave film on glassware — but it is not the extreme end of the valley, and a softener sized for 25 grains would waste salt on it.

- Hardness scaleThe USGS classifies water above 180 mg/L as calcium carbonate (about 10.5 grains per gallon) as very hard, 121 to 180 mg/L as hard, and 61 to 120 mg/L as moderately hard. USGS
We publish the utility's own figures and link them so you can check us. Your tap is still what counts — hardness moves with the source and the season — so we measure before we size anything.

At 12.38 grains per gallon American Fork water is very hard by the USGS measure, and the cost shows up slowly: scale on the heater element, film on shower glass, more detergent for the same result. A softener sized to this figure fixes it without running salt you do not need.
