Do I Need a Water Filter in Northeast Ohio?

If you live in Cuyahoga, Lake, or Geauga County, you might assume your tap water is just fine — after all, it’s treated, regulated, and “safe to drink.” But what most homeowners don’t realize is that even water that meets state and federal standards can still contain contaminants that affect taste, health, and your home’s plumbing system.

So the real question becomes: What’s in your water — and should you be filtering it?

🚱 What’s Actually in Northeast Ohio Tap Water?

Water across Cleveland and the surrounding areas often contains:

• High levels of chlorine or chloramines
  Used to disinfect water, but can dry out your skin and corrode pipes over time.

• Hard water minerals (calcium & magnesium)
  These cause buildup in your plumbing, leave stains on fixtures, and shorten the life of water heaters and appliances.

• Lead or sediment from old pipes
  Even if your city’s water is clean, aging infrastructure in your home can re-contaminate it.

• Musty, metallic, or “pool water” taste
  A common complaint in many parts of Lake and Geauga Counties.
