Every home has different water. Sorso builds systems for specific situations.

Hard water is Ontario’s most widespread water complaint. Sorso’s whole-home water filtration system softens water and removes chlorine, fluoride, lead, and contaminants from every tap, starting at $69 per month with free installation.
The effects show up every day:
Ontario Water Hardness by City
| City / Region | GPG | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Toronto | 6.8 | Hard |
| Mississauga / Brampton | 7.0-7.6 | Hard |
| Vaughan / Markham | 7.3-7.4 | Hard |
| Hamilton | 8.4 | Hard |
| Barrie (groundwater) | 13-20 | Very Hard |
| Kitchener | 17-38 | Extremely Hard |
| Guelph | 21-32 | Extremely Hard |

| GTHA schools above 10 ppb | 30+ schools |
| Homes at risk (pre-1955) | Lead service lines |
| Chloramine | Does not evaporate |
| PFAS monitoring | Stricter rules expected |

A 2026 report found that GTHA schools have some of the highest levels of lead in drinking water in Ontario. The Toronto District School Board alone had 30 schools with lead levels above 10 ppb. For parents, the concerns go beyond taste.
Toronto uses chlorine and ammonia to disinfect water. The City acknowledges the resulting taste and recommends letting water sit in the fridge overnight, but that does nothing for chloramine, which does not evaporate.
Private well owners in Ontario are fully responsible for testing and treating their own water. The province does not monitor private wells. Research shows roughly 34% of tested Ontario farmstead wells exceed permissible bacteria levels.
Rural communities across the Golden Horseshoe rely on private wells, particularly in Caledon, King Township, Halton Hills, Erin, the Wellington-Dufferin region, and areas surrounding Barrie and Simcoe County.

Ontario’s chlorinated water is absorbed through your skin during every shower. Combined with the region’s hard water minerals, it strips natural oils from your skin and hair.
If you deal with eczema, psoriasis, or persistent dryness, the shower is often the biggest source of chemical exposure in your home. Hard water minerals make soap harder to rinse, leaving residue on skin.

Whether you just bought your first home in the GTA or relocated from another province or country, the water quality difference is often a surprise. Ontario’s hard water leaves marks that renters rarely notice but homeowners cannot ignore.
New homes in growing communities like Barrie, Milton, Whitby, and Brampton often connect to groundwater sources harder than Toronto’s Lake Ontario supply. If your new home has a private well, you inherit the full responsibility for water quality on day one.
Sorso makes it simple. One consultation determines which systems fit your home. Installation is free and typically takes under 2 hours.
Pets are more sensitive to chlorine and water hardness than humans. Dogs and cats drinking
high-chlorine tap water can develop digestive issues and skin irritation.
A whole-home system provides cleaner water
from every tap, including the bowl you fill
from the kitchen sink.
Restaurants, cafes, dental offices, veterinary clinics, salons, and office buildings across the GTA benefit from premium water filtration. Coffee shops taste the difference first.
Commercial systems sized for your property with manufacturer direct pricing, free installation, and dedicated support.
A family of four in Ontario spends $500 to $1,000 per year on bottled water. That adds up to hundreds of plastic bottles in the recycling stream every year.
Sorso’s drinking systems produce better-tasting, naturally alkaline water from your kitchen tap for a fraction of the cost.
9 out of 10 clients say the water tastes better than bottled. 20 kg of plastic waste saved per family per year.
Sorso is not a franchise or a reseller. We are the manufacturer, headquartered in North York,
and we sell directly to you.
