What New York Owners Should Know
New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), which supplies New York, reports hardness of averages about 25 mg/L as CaCO3 (roughly 1 grain per gallon; sampled range 16-90 mg/L), which the report classes as soft. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
