What's in Columbus, Ohio Water?
Columbus Water Works draws from the Scioto River, Hoover Reservoir, and Griggs Reservoir — serving nearly a million residents. The water is treated and safe by EPA standards, but Columbus homeowners consistently report hard water scale, chlorine taste, and concerns about PFAS and lead in older neighborhoods.
Columbus city water consistently tests in the 'very hard' range — causing scale on fixtures, inside appliances, and reducing water heater efficiency by up to 30%.
Columbus Water Works uses chlorine disinfection. Trihalomethane byproducts form in the distribution system and are detectable at the tap.
Ohio EPA has flagged PFAS 'forever chemicals' in Central Ohio water systems. Reverse osmosis is the gold-standard removal method.
Columbus neighborhoods with pre-1986 homes may have lead service lines or lead solder. A whole-house filter with lead reduction is recommended.
Columbus's aging water mains introduce rust and sediment — visible in filters and as discoloration when water sits in pipes.
Columbus is our home base. We typically schedule Columbus installations within 2–3 business days.
