You can get the grains per gallon (gpg) hardness of your water supply from a water analysis laboratory, or call and ask your local water department, if you are on a municipal supply, or call GE Answer Center® to request a water hardness test kit. If your report shows hardness in parts per million (ppm) simply divide by 17.1 to get the equivalent number of grains per gallon.
