Water in Milwaukee is Very Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Milwaukee is 17.1 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.

Milwaukee, WI Water Sources
According to a comprehensive investigation by Wisconsin Watch, Milwaukee residents face significant drinking water challenges that affect hundreds of thousands of people across Wisconsin. The investigation found that tens of thousands of Milwaukee residents living in homes with aging water pipes and fixtures may be exposed to dangerous lead levels, which can cause brain damage in children. Homes built before 1950 are likely to have lead pipes, while those constructed before 1984 may contain lead fixtures or lead solder on pipes.
The city of Milwaukee, despite being considered a national leader in water testing, still sees thousands of children diagnosed with lead poisoning each year. Researchers suggest this could be partially attributed to drinking water contaminated with lead that leaches from aging infrastructure. While city officials report finding minimal lead in Milwaukee’s water supply, critics argue that federal sampling protocols routinely miss dangerous levels of the metal, highlighting the importance of comprehensive water treatment solutions for Milwaukee homeowners.

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.
