216mg/L · Very hard
12.1≈ dGH

Very hard. Neocaridina will still breed in it, just not as fast; Caridina will not. Cutting it half and half with RO is the usual fix.

Hardness is the utility's own reported figure where one exists, otherwise a county-level USGS estimate. Test your own tap before you trust any number, including this one.
