Water softener and filtration in Strongsville, Ohio

Official utility context

Local water report — aesthetic focus

Most Strongsville homes are served by Cleveland Water (confirm on your bill). The Cleveland Water 2025 CCR reports system-level hardness and total chlorine; Softstone tests at your tap.

Hardness (as CaCO₃): 105–130 mg/L, average 117 mg/L (~6.8 gpg) — moderately hard; households may notice more soap use, spots, and scale.

Total chlorine: plant averages ~1.09–1.20 ppm — some households notice taste or odor.

Cleveland Water meets applicable standards for a safe public supply. Softstone focuses on comfort and aesthetics — softer water, carbon and RO for taste — not on replacing utility disinfection or boil guidance.

• Treated Lake Erie municipal water via Cleveland Water
• Hardness around 105–130 mg/L as CaCO₃ (~6.8 gpg average) — a common cause of mineral spotting and scale on fixtures and glassware
• Chlorine residual ~1.09–1.20 ppm plant average — some notice taste or odor at the tap
• Softstone’s free visit measures hardness at your tap and discusses taste/odor — not a health lab report
