Dufferin County, Ontario
Water Filtration for Dufferin County
Dufferin County is groundwater country — Orangeville, Shelburne and the surrounding towns all draw from municipal wells, and that means hard water with some iron in the mix. Hardness sits in the high teens to low 20s in grains per gallon across the county. A softener is the foundation here, often paired with iron filtration.
Orangeville
18–22 gpg · Groundwater · Chlorinated · Extremely hard
Is Orangeville water hard? Yes — about 18–22 grains per gallon of municipal groundwater, hard enough that the Town itself points residents toward softeners. The Town also notes iron and manganese in the supply, which can stain fixtures and laundry. So the core setup is a water softener for the hardness, with iron filtration where staining shows up and reverse osmosis for clean drinking water.
