Water in Columbus is Very Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Columbus is 13.5 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.

Columbus, OH water sources
A recent report from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) reveals significant water quality concerns for Columbus and Ohio residents. The study, which analyzed water quality data from 2021 to 2023 across nearly 5,000 water systems, identified over 100 contaminants in Ohio’s drinking water supply. These contaminants include PFAS “forever chemicals,” disinfectant byproducts, nitrates, and various metals that can pose health risks to homeowners and their families.
The findings show that two contaminants in Ohio’s drinking water exceeded federal legal limits: arsenic and total trihalomethanes, both of which are linked to serious health concerns including cancer. While many contaminant levels fall below EPA legal limits, the EWG notes that these federal standards are outdated and may not adequately protect public health. Additionally, toxic PFAS chemicals were detected in drinking water serving more than 143 million Americans nationwide, with these substances linked to cancer, developmental issues, and other health problems. These water quality challenges highlight the importance of home water treatment solutions for Columbus residents seeking to protect their families from potential contaminants in their tap water.

A water softener targets minerals in hard water with an ion exchange process. A water filter focuses on removing contaminants and bacteria, typically by forcing water through some form of barrier to separate the clean water from the unwanted substances.

Several signs can indicate the benefit of a water filter, including water that tastes weird or has a bad odor. In addition, scale buildup and shower heads getting clogged easily can indicate the need for a filter.

-
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.
