Very hard water, by the numbers
Patterson’s 2025 report puts average hardness at 402 ppm (parts per million), with a range of 323 to 517 ppm. That’s very hard water, and the average is about twice Modesto’s. [City of Patterson 2025 Consumer Confidence Report] It’s all groundwater, so there’s no softer surface supply blending it down.
Sizing matters more here
With water this hard, an undersized softener runs out of capacity fast and regenerates constantly. We size the resin tank to your household and the hardness at your tap, then set the valve to regenerate only when it needs to, so you use less salt. Sodium is already about 107 ppm before softening; [City of Patterson 2025 Consumer Confidence Report] if that matters to you, RO at the kitchen sink reduces it in drinking water.
Commuters and new arrivals
If you commute to the Bay Area or moved from there, you’ve likely noticed the difference: where San Francisco water averaged 62 ppm of hardness in 2025. [SFPUC 2025 Annual Water Quality Report] [EBMUD water quality FAQs] Going from soft Bay Area water to Patterson’s very hard water is a big jump, and dry skin, stiff laundry and dull hair are usually the first things people notice.
A softener doesn’t remove chromium-6
Patterson’s groundwater has chromium-6 above California’s 10 ppb limit, and the city is working under a compliance plan. [City of Patterson Chromium-6 page] A softener won’t touch it. Under-sink RO can reduce chromium-6 in drinking water.

Patterson questions
Is a salt-free system enough for Patterson water?
It can reduce scale buildup, but with water this hard most Patterson homes choose a softener for the soft-water feel and fewer spots. We’ll show both at your free test.
How often will my softener regenerate in Patterson?
More often than in softer towns. A properly sized, metered softener regenerates only when it uses up its capacity, and we size it so that’s not every night.

It depends on your home’s size and what your water test shows. We start with a free in-home water test in Patterson, then give you a written, no-pressure estimate for the softener your water calls for.
