Water Filtration Systems in Toronto, ON

Understanding Toronto's Tap Water

Toronto's drinking water comes primarily from Lake Ontario, treated at the F.J. Horgan, R.C. Harris, and Island water treatment plants. While Toronto Water meets all provincial regulations, that doesn't mean it's perfect for your home.

Toronto Water Challenges

Hard Water (7–10 GPG): Toronto's treated water contains significant calcium and magnesium from Lake Ontario and the water table. This causes scale on appliances, faucets, and pipes, reducing their lifespan and efficiency.

Chloramines: Toronto switched from chlorine to chloramine disinfection. While effective at killing pathogens, chloramines create a distinct taste and odour, and cannot be removed by standard pitcher filters.

Lead in Service Lines: Toronto has approximately 60,000 lead service pipes still in use, primarily in homes built before 1955. Lead is colourless, tasteless, and invisible — yet extremely harmful, especially to children.

Microplastics: Recent studies have detected microplastic particles in Toronto's tap water, originating from Lake Ontario's contamination. Reverse osmosis is the most effective removal method.
