Water in Birmingham is Moderately Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Birmingham is 5.4 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the moderately hard range. This means your water contains higher levels of calcium and magnesium minerals that can build up in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures over time. This mineral buildup can reduce efficiency and potentially shorten the lifespan of your home’s water-using systems without proper treatment.

Birmingham, AL Water Sources
In May 2024, residents across multiple Birmingham-area communities including North Hoover, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham reported experiencing foul-smelling and bad-tasting water. The Birmingham Water Works Board acknowledged these widespread complaints and conducted comprehensive testing to address homeowner concerns about their drinking water quality.
While testing confirmed the water met safety standards for consumption, the incident highlighted ongoing water quality challenges that Birmingham area residents face. Similar issues were simultaneously reported in Walker County, where the Jasper Waterworks and Sewer Board identified naturally occurring compounds produced by algae and microorganisms as the source of taste and odor problems. These events demonstrate why many Birmingham homeowners consider water treatment solutions to ensure consistent water quality and taste in their homes, even when municipal water meets basic safety requirements.

Frequently asked questions
-
Birmingham’s water averages 5.4 grains per gallon, making it moderately hard. This level can dry out your hair and skin while reducing soap effectiveness. A water softener removes these excess minerals, helping you achieve better lathers, softer hair, and healthier-looking skin. Protect your family from hard water’s daily effects.
-
One of the biggest benefits of filtering water is to help reduce harmful contaminants, impurities and chemicals, along with unwanted minerals and bacteria. The filtering process can also lead to a better taste and smell, which encourages hydration and wellness.
-
A water softener targets minerals in hard water with an ion exchange process. A water filter focuses on removing contaminants and bacteria, typically by forcing water through some form of barrier to separate the clean water from the unwanted substances.
-
If your water has a strange taste, odor, or discoloration, it might be time to filter it. Other signs include cloudy water, buildup on faucets, or reports of contaminants in your local water supply. The best way to determine whether you need water treatment is to schedule a free water test from our local office in Birmingham.
-
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a drinking water purification process that helps remove unwanted substances from tap water by pushing water through a special barrier called a semipermeable membrane. This barrier blocks heavy metals (like lead), arsenic, PFAS, chlorine, and chemicals, so only purified water is passed through. The result is water with 99.9% of all contaminants, sediments, and particles removed, making crisper, cleaner, and safer drinking water.
