Modern Electric Water Company’s drinking water hard or soft?

Modern Electric Water Company’s drinking water is 7.25 (average) Grains per Gallon which places our water in the lower end of the Hard Water category, 7.0 to 10.5 Grains per Gallon, on the Water Hardness Scale. Water’s “hardness” and “softness” is due to its concentration of minerals – calcium and magnesium. The lower the mineral concentration, the softer the water is. Many new dishwashers allow you to set the hardness of the water so that you do not need to use as much soap in comparison to areas that have harder water.
