Dropline Posted April 2, 2016 Report Posted April 2, 2016 Royal Oak Mi 85-102 since I started checking. Water department claims it is always 100 tds and GH 6. Quote What is the hardness of my water? Depending on the manufacturer of your appliance, you need to know the ppm (parts per million) of your water or the "grains of hardness". SOCWA water runs consistently at 100 ppm or 6 grains of hardness. Pneumonic 1 Quote
