    • We don’t have access to real-time data and information at the moment. However, according to the 2020 Water Quality Report for Edgewater, Florida, published by the City of Edgewater Utilities Department, the water hardness level in the city’s water supply ranges from 90-120 parts per million (ppm) or 5.26-7.02 grains per gallon (gpg). This falls within the range of moderately hard water.

  23. Hello again,
    Can you tell me if the water in 97504 Medford Oregon is hard or soft water please? I recently purchased a “PATRIOT PURE Ultimate Water Filtration System” from 4Patriots and am not sure if it’s my water that is causing it to not work properly or the machine is just malfunctioning. It either doesn’t work in hard water or soft water.
    A late Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to All.

    • Hello Patricia Albericci,

      Sorry for replying you late, as checked the report saying the water hardness of Medford is about 41 PPM (or 2.4 GPG)
      it is slightly soft.

      The system that you purchased is working as it is. It’s not because the water hard or soft.

      If you are not happy with it, you can try this one from Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/41N0U7N
