Water in Richmond is Moderately Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Richmond is 4.3 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the moderately hard range. This means there’s a good 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.

Richmond, VA water sources
Recent testing by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has revealed concerning levels of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), commonly known as ‘forever chemicals,’ in Virginia’s drinking water supply. Test results indicate that PFAS are present in the drinking water of approximately 2.5 million Virginians, with public drinking utilities in major cities including Fairfax, Newport News, Norfolk, Roanoke, and Charlottesville exceeding the EPA’s enforceable limits for these contaminants.
PFAS chemicals are particularly problematic because they persist in the environment and human body for extended periods, earning them the nickname ‘forever chemicals.’ The detection of PFOA and PFOS – two specific types of PFAS – above EPA safety thresholds highlights the importance of water treatment solutions for Richmond area homeowners. These findings underscore why many Virginia residents are turning to advanced water filtration and treatment systems to ensure their families have access to clean, safe drinking water at home.

Frequently asked questions
-
Richmond’s water averages 4.31 grains per gallon, which can help make soap less effective and may contribute to hair dryness. A water softener helps reduce these mineral levels, helping restore balance for softer, healthier-looking hair and helping 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 Richmond.
-
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a powerful filtration process that helps to remove contaminants like lead, arsenic, PFAS, and bacteria by forcing water through a specialized membrane. The result? Purified, better-tasting water right from your tap.
