What is Reverse Osmosis?

Oaks Wellness Water’s whole-house water filtration system cleans every drop of water in your home before it gets to the tap. A normal system has:

  • A sediment pre-filter to catch dirt, sand, and rust
  • GAC carbon filter to get rid of smells and chlorine
  • Carbon block filter to get rid of smaller chemicals and VOCs
  • Optional filters for iron, hardness, or scale in the media
  • Polishing filter to make the taste and clarity better


This setup gives you clean water for showers, laundry, cooking, and appliances. Our mineral-friendly method keeps the water fresh and healthy without making it taste “flat,” so it’s better than regular filtration systems by nature.

Oshawa Water Profile (What Homeowners Should Know)

Oshawa is a prominent city located in Southern Ontario. Most of its drinking water is sourced from Lake Ontario, which is considered surface water. Before the water reaches your home, it undergoes extensive processing at large water treatment plants operated by the Region of Durham.

 

The water in Oshawa naturally contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium, classifying it as moderately hard. Because of these minerals, residents might observe scale buildup on faucets, kettles, or other household appliances, and soap may not lather as easily as it would with soft water. The Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level in Oshawa typically ranges between 150 and 200 mg/L, which is well within the safe limits for high-quality drinking water.

 

The Region of Durham strictly monitors the supply, performing constant testing and treatment to ensure the water meets all Ontario drinking water standards. While seasonal changes or weather shifts can occasionally cause slight variations in taste or odor, the water remains completely safe for consumption.

 

To further improve taste, reduce mineral hardness, and protect their plumbing systems, some residents opt to install home filtration systems, such as under-sink RO units or whole-house water softeners.

Common water problems in Oshawa

Hard water

Oshawa’s water hardness typically ranges from 7.3–10.2 gpg (about 125–175 mg/L as calcium carbonate). This means the water is moderately hard and can cause scale buildup in plumbing and appliances, as well as spots on dishes and glassware, but it is safe to drink and use.

PFAS

Oshawa’s drinking water, supplied from Lake Ontario, is regularly monitored by the Region of Durham to ensure PFAS levels remain within Ontario regulatory guidelines. PFAS are synthetic “forever chemicals” that can enter water from industrial and household sources and do not break down easily.

Total dissolved solids

TDS measures the total amount of dissolved minerals and salts in water. In Oshawa, TDS levels are typically around 150–200 mg/L, which is lower than many groundwater systems and usually results in a mild, neutral taste. The water is safe to drink, though moderate TDS can still cause light scaling and slightly reduce soap efficiency.
