How hard is Milton water?

Milton has two separate supplies. Halton pipes treated Lake Ontario water to the Steeles Avenue water tower, and the Milton well system supplies the rest. Under normal operation the two don't mix. In 2025 the lake-based system averaged 126 mg/L hardness, but the well-based system averaged 318 mg/L, which is very hard. The well side also has no added fluoride (0.10 mg/L) and higher sodium (45.6 mg/L).

What that hardness does

  • White scale on taps, shower glass and kettles
  • Spots on dishes and glassware
  • Water heaters and dishwashers that lose efficiency and wear out sooner
  • More soap and detergent, and dry skin and hair

Above about 15 grains per gallon, as in parts of Milton, a softener has to regenerate more often. We size the resin bed and set the regeneration to your measured hardness and household so you're not wasting salt or running out of soft water.

Which softener fits a Milton home?

On chlorinated municipal water, the Enhanced Water Softener softens and removes chlorine in one tank. For straight softening, or on a well, SoftBlu has 2 cu ft of high-capacity resin. Well homes with iron need an iron filter in front of the softener.

What it costs

Rent monthly with maintenance included, finance with 0% options, or buy outright, with free installation and a 10-year warranty. See payment options.
