Why Hard Water is a Problem in Toronto
Toronto’s water supply is classified as moderately hard, which means:
- Limescale builds up in kettles, pipes, and faucets
- Water heaters become less efficient over time
- Soaps and shampoos don’t lather well
- Skin and hair often feel dry or rough after washing
By installing a professionally sized water softener, we help you avoid these issues and improve your overall water quality at home.

Benefits of Installing a Water Softener
Soft water minimizes mineral buildup on taps, sinks, and showerheads.
Reduced scaling means water heaters, dishwashers, and humidifiers last longer and perform better.
Without the harsh minerals, your body wash and shampoo work as intended—leaving you feeling refreshed.
Enjoy fewer water spots and less soap scum on glass, tile, and chrome.
Appliances with less scale use less energy to heat water—saving you money every month.
Your home’s water will taste better, clean more effectively, and feel noticeably softer.
Need a Water Softener System For Your Home?
System Types We Offer
At MT Treatment, we install three main types of water softener systems, each suited to different household needs. Here’s what you can expect from each:
Salt-Based Water Softeners
This is the most common system and ideal for most homes in Toronto. It uses an ion exchange process to remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium. These systems are dependable, cost-effective, and only require occasional salt top-ups—usually two to three times per year.
Dual-Tank Softeners
Perfect for larger families or homes with high water usage. This setup provides a continuous supply of soft water by regenerating one tank while the other is in use. You’ll never run out of softened water, even during peak demand.
Salt-Free Conditioners
A great choice for condos, smaller homes, or anyone looking to avoid salt usage. These systems don’t remove minerals but instead condition them to prevent scale buildup. There’s no need to handle salt bags, and maintenance is limited to an annual media replacement.
Not sure which system is best for your household? We’ll test your water and recommend a solution tailored to your usage, layout, and preferences.
