Local Notes for Charleston
Charleston Water System, which supplies Charleston, reports hardness of about 54 ppm (roughly 3.2 grains per gallon) as a 2022 average; soft water. Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.
