Default Grains per gallon hardness reading?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to translate Grains Per Gallon of water hardness to ppm or GH?

My water company says that our water is soft,which I agree with,but when asked for an actual
number,the lady gave me 7.72 Grains Per Gallon,which is listed as hard on the web pages I've read.

I'm used to ppm or gh readings and want to be able to convert her number to something more familiar
to me, it just doesn't sound accurate for our current water supply.

Any help would be appreciated,

Lady Two-Fish



My water company equates 30 grains per gallon to 507 ppm..
