Water in Wilmington is Moderately Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Wilmington is 5.0 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 pipes, appliances, and fixtures over time. This mineral buildup can reduce efficiency and potentially shorten the lifespan of your home’s water systems if not properly addressed.

Wilmington, NC water sources
A recent environmental report from Fairfax County, Virginia highlights significant water supply challenges that mirror concerns faced by homeowners across the Southeast, including Wilmington, NC. The Fairfax County Environmental Quality Advisory Council’s 2024 report reveals how industrial development can strain local water systems, with data centers potentially requiring up to 70 million gallons of water daily for cooling operations. This massive consumption could nearly double existing water usage in the region, creating supply pressures and wastewater treatment challenges that affect residential water quality and availability.
The report also addresses emerging water contamination issues, particularly PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) – manmade chemicals that have been in use since the 1940s and are now found throughout the environment. New EPA regulations targeting PFAS in drinking water could require water utilities to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in treatment upgrades by 2029. These chemicals do not break down naturally and accumulate in the environment over time, eventually entering homes through drinking water supplies. For Wilmington homeowners, these regional water challenges underscore the importance of having reliable water treatment solutions to ensure safe, clean water regardless of broader infrastructure pressures or contamination concerns.

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.
