How hard is Northern Utah water — and what is in it?

Most homes along the Wasatch Front — Ogden, Layton, Bountiful and nearby cities — draw water from the Weber River and mountain aquifers. Moving through limestone, that water picks up calcium and magnesium, so hardness here commonly runs about 7 to 15+ grains per gallon. Many homes also notice chlorine taste and odor, sediment, or want cleaner water for drinking and cooking.

Use the calculators below to plan the right filtration setup. The filter and reverse-osmosis tools help you compare options and size a system for your household; the hardness calculator estimates your grains per gallon; and the savings estimator weighs treatment cost against what untreated water costs you in bottled water, appliances and detergent.
