Water Softener Cambridge
A water softener in your Cambridge home is important due to the hard water in the area. Most drinking water in Waterloo Region comes from groundwater wells along the Grand River watershed. This water is considered to be very hard because of the minerals picked up along the way.
Although it is safe for you to drink, hard water contributes to scale build-up in pipes and appliances. Most Cambridge residents therefore use water softeners to replace the minerals with salt, resulting in softened water.
WaterSmart Systems & Plumbing can help - we can provide the best water softener Cambridge has to offer!
How Hard is the Water?
The Grand River begins as a small stream in Dufferin County and travels 280 km before emptying into Lake Erie. About a million people live within the watershed, with most residing in the larger urban areas of Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Cambridge, and Brantford.
Cambridge has some of the hardest water in all of Canada. The city ranges between 21 and 33 grains per gallon (gpg). By comparison, the water hardness average across Canada is only 10.5 gpg. That means that Cambridge's water is about 2 to 3 times harder than the Canadian average!
Knowing the water hardness in your specific neighbourhood will help you select and set up a water softener that will meet the needs of your household. Below you will see a map of the city - once you know the hardness, you can click on the water softener Cambridge buyer’s guide to see which one you need.

“What a great experience!! I did a search on the internet, called regarding the price of a water softener and the next day it was installed and we had soft water again. Paul removed the old softener, installed and setup the new one and was out in just over an hour. He also noted that the grounding of water pipe was not done by previous installer and he corrected that as well. Cost was the same as softener that was installed 14 years ago - I am impressed.“
