Summit County on Wikipedia lists its towns and how the county is run. If your house is on a well, Summit County Public Health has a page on private water systems.

Summit County, Ohio. We cover all of it.

Akron's plant isn't the only one here

Cuyahoga Falls pumps its own wells and runs its own plant, for itself, Munroe Falls and Silver Lake. Akron's water never reaches those taps, and the two plants don't start from the same water. So check the name on your bill. If it isn't Akron's, we read that utility's own yearly water report first.

Find your town before anyone sizes a softener

The white crust on your faucets is worse in some Summit towns than in others, so there’s no county-wide answer to give you. We keep a page for what each utility reports: Akron, Barberton, Cuyahoga Falls, Green, Hudson and Stow. And not every Summit address is on a city main: on a private well nobody reports on your water at all, so lab work comes before any talk of equipment. When the number is in, a softener sized for a Summit County home is the equipment page.

What we do about it in Summit County

Summit isn’t one water supply, so it doesn’t get one answer. What we do at your house depends on whose name is on your bill.

  1. We check whose water

    Cuyahoga Falls runs its own plant. Akron never touches those taps.

  2. Carbon, not the fancy kind

    Plain carbon handles the pool taste in Akron. Skip the pricier catalytic version.

  3. No lead pitch here

    Akron's old pipes are out. We won't sell you a filter for them.

  4. Buildup depends on the town

    Akron water runs moderate. Barberton runs very hard. Same county.

What fits

The systems Summit County homes usually need

Akron’s water is treated and it’s safe to drink, so nothing here’s sold on fear.

  • Two tall black tanks joined at the top by a digital valve, one holding amber resin and one dark carbon, with a smaller third tank of white and blue beads beside them.

    Dual Tank — City Water

    Two tanks instead of one, running off a single control valve.

    See details

  • A single tall black tank with its media visible through a narrow window, and a smaller salt tank standing beside it.

    Standard Whole-Home Softener + Filtration

    Handles the two things almost every home around here has going on at once.

    See details

  • 5-Stage Tank Reverse Osmosis

    A traditional reverse osmosis system with a storage tank.

Summit County questions

Do you work in every part of Summit County?

Yes. We work in every city, village and township in Summit County. The full list is near the top of this page.

How do I book a visit in Summit County?

Fill in the form at the top of this page or call us. We set a time that suits you and confirm it.

Is the water test really free in Summit County?

Yes. The test is free, and you keep the numbers whether you buy anything or not.

Is Akron water safe to drink?

Yes. The city treats it, tests it, and publishes what it finds every year. What people call us about is the taste, not the safety.

Why does my water smell like a pool?

That smell is what keeps the water safe on the way to your house. By the time it reaches your kitchen it has done its job. Carbon takes it back out at the tap.

Do I need a lead filter in Akron?

Akron already replaced the old pipes from the street. So we won’t sell you one on that story. If the plumbing inside your own house worries you, say so, and the free test covers it.

My water bill isn’t from Akron. Now what?

Tell us whose name is on it. We look that utility up before the visit, and we read what it published. Then we test your own tap anyway.

Who installs it?

Installed by a licensed professional.
