Let’s look at a possible scenario. Say you test your water and learn that the ppm is 300 and the hardness (calcium and magnesium) is 11 grains or 188 ppm (1 grain of hardness is equal to 17.1 ppm hardness).

This is a good starting point, but knowing the hardness (calcium and magnesium) of the water is important, to see how much of the ppm is the hardness and how much is other contaminants.
