Water in Joliet is Very Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Joliet is 16.7 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the very hard range. This means there’s a lot 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 make things less efficient and even shorten the life of your home’s systems if left unchecked.

Joliet, IL water sources
According to a recent Environmental Working Group (EWG) study analyzing water quality data from 2021-2023, Joliet’s public drinking water contains two contaminants that exceed EWG’s health guidelines. The study found arsenic levels that are 266 times higher than EWG’s recommended health guideline, and radium levels that are 31 times higher than recommended guidelines. These findings are part of a larger analysis of nearly 50,000 water systems across the United States.
Arsenic is a naturally occurring mineral that has been linked to bladder, lung, and skin cancer, as well as damage to skin and lung tissue. Radium is a radioactive element that can increase cancer risk due to ionizing radiation exposure, and long-term exposure may lead to neurological disorders, developmental delays, and organ damage. The presence of these contaminants in Joliet’s water supply highlights the importance of water treatment solutions for homeowners who want to reduce their exposure to these potentially harmful substances.

Frequently asked questions
-
With Joliet’s water measuring 16.67 grains per gallon, a water softener can help reduce mineral buildup that may dry out your hair and skin. Hard water can make soaps less effective, but a water softener helps restore balance, giving you softer, healthier-looking hair and helping your soaps lather better for a more thorough wash.
-
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 Joliet.
