Common Hard Water Issues in Chandler
Chandler blends surface water with local groundwater, so hardness varies by neighborhood and season. The City of Chandler reports a range of 5 to 20 GPG with a citywide average of 16.5 GPG, well past the 10.5 GPG very-hard line. The city's rapid growth has meant many newer homes, which are often sold without filtration systems despite having the plumbing in place.
