Hague Quality Water

The water in Paso Robles is very hard, both on a private well and municipally treated city water.

Water Hardness is measured in Grains per Gallon (GPG), or Parts Per Million (PPM).

We use the grains per gallon measurement because most softeners are set with the GPG standard.

The Water in Paso Robles will vary on a day to day basis as all water does, but generally it is 13-26 GPG.

For water softener settings we recommend 25 GPG

What is the hardness scale?

0-3 Soft

This is a FAQ called in from a friend who works for the city’s water department. They get the call monthly from some angry resident who is asking “What are you guys doing to my water?” After a few minutes on the phone the question is asked…”Do you have a water softener?” and the answer is always, “Yes.”

Unfortuneatly the distributor on standard softeners can break. when this occurs the resin beads in teh tank come through all the plumbing in the house. It could look like orange or red sand, it could just clog all airators and shower heads. Running the bathtup will easily show the beads.

It’s a big problem when this occurs, it takes lots of time and energy to remove these beads from the plumbing. It seems that when people buy in expensive softeners (sears, home depot) the damage they can cause is usually twice the cost of the softener.

Buying quality equipment will almost always avoids this problem.

Has this happened to anyone recently?
