What you posted was "non-carbonate" hardness - that is not the total hardness.

I measured the hardness at 12 gpg (205 ppm) via a titration test. This classifies our water as very hard.

Measurement of water hardness

According to the Water Quality Association...

soft: 0-3.5 grains per gallon (gpg),

moderate: 3.5-7.0 gpg,

hard: 7.0-10.5 gpg, and

very hard: over 10.5 gpg

in fact they classify it as soft on this page
