Water in Baltimore is Moderately Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Baltimore is 5.7 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.

Baltimore, MD water sources
A recent Environmental Working Group study revealed significant water quality concerns for Baltimore area residents, with Maryland’s 463 public water utilities serving over 5.4 million people containing 94 known contaminants. The most prevalent contaminants found above health guidelines include total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) detected in 314 utilities serving over 5 million people, haloacetic acids found in multiple utilities serving nearly 5 million residents, and radium detected in 232 utilities serving 4.5 million people. These contaminants, along with bromodichloromethane and other chemicals, pose potential health risks including cancer, liver damage, and neurological issues.
The study, which analyzed water quality data from 2021-2023, also identified concerning levels of volatile organic compounds, nitrates from agricultural runoff, heavy metals like arsenic and hexavalent chromium, and disinfection byproducts from chlorine treatment. Additionally, radiological contaminants including radium and uranium were detected in many water systems, sometimes exceeding EPA limits. These findings highlight the importance of comprehensive water treatment solutions for Baltimore homeowners, as exposure to these contaminants can lead to serious health problems including cancer, reproductive issues, thyroid problems, and developmental concerns, particularly for infants and children.

Frequently asked questions
-
With Baltimore’s water measuring 5.74 grains per gallon, a water softener can help protect your hair and skin from mineral buildup. Hard water may reduce soap effectiveness and can help cause dryness. Our water experts at Leaf Home recommend softeners to help restore balance, giving you softer, healthier-looking hair and skin with every 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.
-

While there are many signs that you may need a water filter, the best way to determine whether you need water treatment is to schedule a free water test from our local office in Baltimore.
