Ashtabula, Ohio

Aqua Ohio — Ashtabula 2025 Consumer Confidence Report (OH0400711). Cover name is taken from the official Aqua system title. The opened report does not print a usable hardness-as-CaCO3 number in the extracted text. This file does not invent one. The booklet says this water is disinfected using chlorine. Chlorine residual 1.6 ppm on the labeled table, MRDL 4. No Measure S-style residential softener ban turned up.

Whole-house carbon for chlorine

No district prohibition on a brine drain turned up in the current file.

A single black whole-house carbon tank with a control head, installed in a garage and connected to copper pipe.
Whole-house carbon tank. No brine tank.

That is chlorine. A whole-house carbon filter with an NSF/ANSI 42 chlorine claim is the usual match. A softener will not take chlorine out.

Under-sink reverse osmosis

Under-sink reverse osmosis system with a white storage tank, filter canisters, and colored tubing in a kitchen cabinet.
Under-sink reverse osmosis: filters, tank, and a second faucet.

The under-sink RO we actually run is Cloud RO — NSF/ANSI 58, kitchen tap, not a whole-house tank. Check the exact listing if PFAS is why you are shopping. Shop Amazon first for under-sink RO, or buy Cloud direct. Waterdrop is a tankless option if you want that path. A certifier-listed pitcher is the cheap first step. Nobody is paying for a medical claim.
