Source: City of Xenia 2025 Consumer Confidence Report, 2025 reporting year. Hardness bands follow the Water Quality Association scale: soft under 3.5 grains, moderate 3.5 to 7, hard 7 to 10.5, very hard above 10.5.
At this level scale builds fast. Expect visible crust on fixtures within weeks of cleaning them, and a water heater working noticeably harder than it should.
At 23 grains, for a four-person household using about 300 gallons a day. Fewer people or a more efficient softener uses less.
