Water Treatment in Ohio

Ohio water hardness ranges from 7 grains per gallon in surface-water-fed cities like Columbus up to 25 grains per gallon in western limestone country. Columbus draws much of its supply from the Scioto and Griggs reservoirs and chloraminates the finished water, so disinfection byproducts (TTHMs and haloacetic acids) are the recurring complaint. Private wells across eastern Ohio tap shale aquifers that can deliver iron, sulfur, and naturally occurring radium. Aqua Otter serves Ohio from our office on South Third Street in Columbus.
