Understanding Your Water in Kitchener, Ontario
-
The city of Kitchener, Ontario sources its Water from multiple Municipal Wells found around the city. These wells are sanitized with Chloramine, a blend of Chlorine and Ammonia. By blending the Chlorine with Ammonia, the Chlorine is able to stay in the Water for longer, allowing it to reach areas further from the Water Treatment Plant.
-
Hard Water, the result of Calcium and Magnesium mixing in with the Groundwater sourced from Municipal Well Water, is the primary antagonist when it comes to the Water of Kitchener, Ontario. The 5 Star Water Solutions recommendation for dealing with Hard Water is through incorporating a Water Softener into your home Water Treatment System.
Chloramine is a mix of Chlorine and Ammonia used in treating Water sourced from the Municipal Wells found throughout the city of Kitchener, Ontario. While Chloramine is a great way to remove Bacteria from the water, Chloramine can wreak havoc on your appliances and skin if it’s allowed to remain in your Water. The 5 Star Water Solutions recommendation for dealing with Chlorine and Chloramine is through incorporating a Dechlorinator or Dechloraminator into your home Water Treatment System.
Measured in Parts per Million, Total Dissolved Solids is the measurement of the Organic and Inorganic substances, such as salts, minerals, metals, and ions, found dissolved in Water. The goal with TDS is not to have 0 ppm or even high ppm (over 500), but to have somewhere between 50 to 300 ppm. Low TDS can taste flat and even be slightly corrosive to your pipes, whereas high TDS can taste salty, metallic, or bitter. The 5 Star Water Solutions recommendation for creating the ideal level of Total Dissolved Solids in your Water is through incorporating a Drinking Water System into your home Water Treatment System.
-
Incorporating a Drinking Water System into your home Water Treatment System is the quickest way to getting clean, tasty, and clear Drinking Water.
Water from a Reverse Osmosis System provides the purest Drinking Water possible through the removal of most of the Total Dissolved Solids found in City Water, like Residue from city pipes and Sediment from the Municipal Groundwater Wells.
If your home Water Treatment System already includes a Water Softener, a Drinking Water System will also remove any excess Sodium produced, as well as removing Chloramine if you are on City Water.
A Reverse Osmosis System completely removes any Contaminants from your Water, with some of our Reverse Osmosis Systems even removing Microplastics.
-
Hard Water is the result of drawing Water up from underground, known as Groundwater, through a Municipal Well. The Hard Water is a result of Calcium and Magnesium entering the water from the rocks found in the soil which the Groundwater is sourced from. This Calcium and Magnesium residue is very common in areas with no access to lake or river water, necessitating the use of the Municipal Well Water as the primary method of getting Water throughout the city.
-
The Water Hardness in Kitchener, Ontario can range anywhere from 17 Grains per Gallon to 36 Grains per Gallon. The Water in Downtown Kitchener, Victoria Park, Doon, Pioneer Park, Bridgeport, and Hidden Valley is the hardest, ranging from 24 to 32 Grains per Gallon, whereas Forest Heights, Laurentian West, Laurentian Hills, Chicopee, Huron Park, Westmount, Stanley Park, Idlewood, and Country Hills is the softest, ranging from 17 to 24 Grains per Gallon, with Forest Hill having the widest Hardness range being between 17 to 32 Grains per Gallon. At 17 to 36 Grains per Gallon, Kitchener water is among the hardest in Ontario. A Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System filters out the dissolved Calcium and Magnesium that a Water Softener exchanges for Sodium, giving you Water that's soft, clean, and great-tasting at every tap.
-
High Water Hardness damages pipes, hair, skin, and appliances, even causing issues with laundry and dishes.
Pipes can get Hard Water buildup and even corrosion over time, with buildup on showerheads being the most noticeable because it is the most visible.
Hard Water doesn’t work as effectively with shampoo, causing the shampoo to cling to your hair and resulting in your hair becoming brittle and dull.
Hard Water leaves residue on your skin, causing your skin to be dryer and itchier, exacerbating skin issues such as Eczema or Acne.
Appliances are not immune to Hard Water buildup either, with Water Heaters experiencing a buildup of hardness needing to be replaced if they go untreated for long enough.
Washing clothes in Hard Water can cause the colours to fade and cause the fabric to become stiff.
Hard Water staining also affects your dishes, leaving your glasses looking cloudy and your plates appearing dirty.

Client Reviews
“I highly recommend 5 star water solutions. Clay is their technician and is highly skilled and knowledgeable with the drinking water system. He went out of his way even on his off time to help me out with an issue I had twice. Great customer care with this company with a awesome long warranty to guarantee peace of mind! Thanks again, Clay!!”
Michael H., Google Review“Clay was a very experienced and knowledgeable technician that was very efficient. Clay diagnosed my current issue and rebuilt the gearing and replaced the seals effortlessly. He shared a lot of helpful information and answered all my questions. When I visited Carlos at 5 Star Water, he was also very knowledgeable with Kinetico water systems and what Carlos told me then was supported with my experience today. Because of all the reviews that I read, todays experience and the fair price, I will not hesitate to use 5 Star in the future.”
Darcy C., Google Review“A business of absolute integrity. We had a well drilled recently and were concerned about water quality and hardness. Their technician arrived as planned at our house to do some water testing. There is some hardness in the water but not enough to warrant to install additional equipment or replacements. No sales push whatsoever. I will certainly consider 5 Star Water first for my future needs.”
