Canton Water Issues
Disinfection Byproducts In Canton Water
Canton’s most recent report lists HAA5 at a highest level of 54 ppb, with results from 14 to 54 ppb. That is under the 60 ppb limit, but not by much. Total trihalomethanes reached 60 ppb, with a range of 19 to 60 ppb, against an 80 ppb limit. These byproducts form as chlorine reacts with natural organic matter during the water’s long trip through the system, and a reverse osmosis system with carbon stages reduces them in the water you drink.
What Is The Water Quality Of The Canton Area?
Canton listed no violations. All 26,835 service-line locations in the township inventory are non-lead, and copper’s 90th percentile was 41.3 ppb, far below the 1,300 ppb action level. PFOA measured up to 2 ppt, nitrate 0.35 ppm and sodium 6.8 ppm. Review the details in Canton Township’s annual Water Quality Report.

Water Filter FAQ
We Have Answers!
Can reverse osmosis lower HAA5 and TTHMs in Canton tap water?
Yes. A Culligan reverse osmosis system combines carbon filtration with an RO membrane, and together they reduce disinfection byproducts along with chlorine taste and odor. With Canton’s highest HAA5 result at 54 ppb against a 60 ppb limit, many families like having that extra margin in the water they drink and cook with.
Does a Canton home need RO for lead if there are no lead service lines?
Canton’s inventory found no lead service lines, and lead sampling ranged from non-detect to 1.2 ppb. Lead and copper can still come from faucets, solder and fixtures inside a home, and copper results reached 131.4 ppb at one tap. A certified RO system reduces both metals, plus byproducts and PFAS, so it covers several concerns at one faucet.
Will a reverse osmosis system remove PFAS?
Reverse osmosis is among the most effective home treatments for PFAS. Canton’s report lists PFOA at up to 2 ppt and no other PFAS compounds, below Michigan’s 8 ppt limit and the 4 ppt federal limit. Michigan also limits PFOS to 16 ppt and PFHxS to 51 ppt. An under-sink RO system adds another layer of protection for your drinking water.
What is Chromium 6 and can Culligan equipment filter out Chromium 6?
Yes, chromium six (or hexavalent chromium) has recently been discovered in limited amounts in some water supplies. Chromium six is suspected of being a carcinogen, and should not be ingested at amounts above the federally mandated limits. We have never been alarmists, but if you are concerned about the quality of the water you drink, you might want to consider a reverse osmosis system. Reverse Osmosis is the only readily available system that removes up to 97% of Chromium-6. You can read more about it here.
What is Reverse Osmosis (R.O.)?
Reverse osmosis is a sophisticated multi-stage filtration system that is capable of removing up to 97% of all the dissolved minerals from your water. It is designed to make water that is at least as good as the water you buy in bottles. Many times, it’s even better. This reduces waste in landfills by using less bottled water, making reverse osmosis environmentally friendly.
Is Reverse Osmosis water as good as bottled water?
Yes – The Culligan RO system uses multiple processes including Reverse Osmosis to make great tasting, low sodium drinking water. Reverse Osmosis removes about 97% of the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) including salt and sodium from the water. Read the labels on bottled water and you will discover reverse osmosis is the same process used by most bottlers … so in effect … you really are getting … “bottled water without the bottle”.
Does reverse osmosis remove the fluoride in Canton water?
Yes, reverse osmosis reduces fluoride along with other dissolved minerals. Fluoride is added during treatment, and Canton’s report shows 0.50 ppm, well under the 4 ppm limit. If you’d prefer to keep fluoride in your drinking water, your Culligan expert can talk through your options.
I already have a filter in my refrigerator? Why do I need anything else?
Refrigerator filters are typically just carbon, and while carbon filtered water is better than no treatment at all, it is limited in what it can remove. Only reverse osmosis is capable of removing dissolved minerals and chemicals from your water.
Can I rent a reverse osmosis system in Canton?
Yes. A reverse osmosis rental from Culligan includes installation and scheduled filter changes for Canton homes, without a large upfront cost.

Why Price Tags Are Deceptive
Unless you were an expert installer, you wouldn’t buy a water heater directly off Amazon. However, big box retailers, both in-store and online, take this transactional approach to homeowners for reverse osmosis water filters. They offer you low price tags for incentive. But what they don’t tell you about are the installation hassle, the third-party customer service on both ends, and how you’re left to your own devices to maintain your system – don’t forget, your home is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. If you truly want to save throughout the life of your system, go with the expert!
