Water in Buffalo is Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Buffalo is 7.5 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 make things less efficient and even shorten the life of your home’s systems if left unchecked.

Buffalo, NY water sources
Buffalo homeowners are facing significant water quality challenges due to PFAS contamination, commonly known as “forever chemicals,” according to a recent Buffalo News investigation. The Bird Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, which processes millions of gallons of wastewater daily before discharging into the Niagara River, cannot effectively remove these persistent chemicals from the water supply. PFAS chemicals, used in everyday products like non-stick cookware and waterproof clothing, resist traditional filtration methods and accumulate in both human bodies and local ecosystems over time.
The contamination creates a continuous cycle that directly impacts Buffalo residents’ drinking water quality. While the EPA has set strict limits of 4 parts per trillion for certain PFAS in drinking water, wastewater treatment facilities like Buffalo’s are not yet required to remove these chemicals due to lack of approved treatment technology. The situation is complicated by landfill leachate from facilities like Seneca Meadows, which sends approximately 40 million gallons of PFAS-contaminated liquid to Buffalo’s treatment plant annually. Studies have linked PFAS exposure to serious health issues including fertility problems, liver damage, and increased cancer risk, making effective water treatment solutions increasingly critical for Buffalo homeowners.

Does your water taste or smell bad? Are you experiencing hard water stains on your appliances, or scale buildup on your shower head? 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 Buffalo.

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.
