Water in Fort Lauderdale is Moderately Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Fort Lauderdale is 6.5 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the moderately hard range. This means there’s a significant amount of calcium and magnesium in the water here — two minerals that can build up over time and leave behind residue in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures. This buildup can reduce efficiency and potentially shorten the life of your home’s systems if not addressed.

Fort Lauderdale, FL water sources
According to a recent report from Florida International University, Fort Lauderdale homeowners are facing significant water quality challenges due to saltwater intrusion into the local freshwater supply. The study reveals that saltwater has intruded approximately one mile inland in parts of the Fort Lauderdale area between 2009 and 2019, threatening the Biscayne Aquifer that supplies drinking water to one in three Floridians. This saltwater intrusion occurs as sea levels rise and underground saltwater seeps through the porous limestone beneath South Florida, compromising the natural freshwater sources that residents depend on.
The research also highlights ongoing concerns with nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff, particularly phosphorus from fertilizers that contribute to harmful algal blooms and water contamination. As the Everglades ecosystem – which naturally filters South Florida’s drinking water – continues to face degradation, its ability to remove these pollutants decreases. The combination of saltwater intrusion and nutrient pollution creates a dual threat to water quality in Fort Lauderdale, making effective water treatment and filtration systems increasingly important for homeowners who want to ensure their families have access to clean, safe drinking water.

Frequently asked questions
-
With Fort Lauderdale’s water hardness at 6.52 grains per gallon, a water softener can help protect your hair and skin. Hard water may reduce soap effectiveness and can contribute to dryness. Our water experts at Leaf Home help provide solutions that may restore balance for softer, healthier-looking hair.
-
Unfiltered water can contain chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants that impact taste, odor, and quality. A water filtration system helps remove these unwanted elements, so every sip, rinse, and wash is cleaner, fresher, and better for your home and health.
-
Water filters and water softeners both help improve water quality by removing certain unwanted materials. Water filters focus on contaminants and chemicals, and often work by forcing water through some kind of barrier to trap debris and allow only cleaner, clearer water to pass through. Water softeners, on the other hand, work more like a magnet, pulling away minerals and impurities that cause hard water.
-
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 Fort Lauderdale.
-
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.
