Is Sorso right
for Your home?

Every home has different water. Sorso builds systems for specific situations.
Find your situation below.

Whole-Home Solution

Homeowners Battling Hard Water Scale and Buildup

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:

  • White calcium deposits on faucets, shower glass, and kettle
  • Soap that won’t lather; detergent that doesn’t rinse clean
  • Dry, itchy skin and flat, brittle hair after showering
  • Shortened appliance life for dishwashers and water heaters
  • Scale inside pipes that reduces water pressure over time
Three filter levels: Activated Carbon ($69/mo), Catalytic ($85/mo), and Calchar/Bone Char ($95/mo) with fluoride and heavy metal removal. Free installation. 15-year warranty. 30-day risk-free trial.

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

Ontario Lead Concerns

GTHA schools above 10 ppb 30+ schools
Homes at risk (pre-1955) Lead service lines

Drinking Water Systems

Families Worried About Lead, Chlorine, and Contaminants

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.

Well Water Treatment

Well Water Homes in Rural Ontario

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.

  • Bacteria
    E. coli & coliforms from runoff, septic, animal waste
  • Nitrates
    From fertilizers and manure near farmland
  • Iron & Manganese
    Orange staining, common in Simcoe County
  • Sulfur (H2S)
    Rotten egg smell in deeper wells

Condo-Friendly

Condo and Apartment Owners in the GTA

Toronto’s condo market is one of the largest in North America. Condo water faces additional challenges: water travels through extensive building plumbing, older buildings may have lead solder, and chlorine taste is more pronounced on higher floors where water sits longer.

Most condo buildings do not require board approval. Free installation. Lifetime warranty. 90-day trial.
Shower Filters from $19/mo

Dry Skin, Hair Damage, or Skin Sensitivity

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.

New to Ontario?

New Homeowners and Newcomers to Ontario

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.

Pet Owners

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.

Businesses & Commercial

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.

Ready to Stop Buying Bottled Water?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ontario tap water safe to drink?
Ontario’s municipal drinking water meets provincial safety standards, with 99.9% of tests passing annually. However, chlorine taste, hard water minerals, and traces of lead in older infrastructure are common concerns. A Sorso drinking system removes 99% of contaminants while adding back healthy minerals.
A drinking system purifies and mineralizes water at one faucet, ideal for drinking, cooking, and preparing baby formula. A whole-home system treats every tap, solving hard water scale, chlorine showers, and appliance damage. Many clients choose both for complete protection.
Water hardness varies across the region. Toronto sits at 6.8 GPG (hard), Hamilton at 8.4 GPG, Barrie’s groundwater zones reach 13 to 20 GPG, and Kitchener ranges from 17 to 38 GPG (extremely hard). Any level above 7 GPG is classified as hard by industry standards.
Yes. Sorso’s drinking systems install under the kitchen sink and require no major plumbing changes. Most condo buildings do not require board approval for under-sink installations. When you move, we will reinstall the system at your new home for $100.
Private wells in Ontario are not monitored by the government. You are responsible for testing and treating your own water. Sorso offers free well water testing within our service area and provides iron filters, UV disinfection, softeners, and drinking systems tailored to your specific water conditions.
Municipal water leaves the treatment plant with safe lead levels. However, homes built before 1955 may have lead service lines or lead solder, and a 2026 report found elevated lead levels in GTHA schools. Sorso’s drinking systems remove 99% of lead and other contaminants.
Shower head filters start at $19 per month. Whole-home systems start at $69 per month. Drinking systems are available with 0% interest payments and a lifetime warranty. Free installation is included with every system, and all systems include a risk-free trial period.
