Water heaters in Orlando
OUC publishes an average hardness of 129 ppm, or 7 grains per gallon, and treats water with ozone from the Lower Floridan Aquifer.
That mineral content still scales tanks over time. A typical Orlando house dates to 1992, so many original 1990s heaters are long past a normal tank life, and a 49.5°F January average low makes a failed unit an emergency.
