About WaterHard.uk
WaterHard.uk is a free resource that helps UK residents check the hardness of their water supply. We cover over 2,000 postcode districts across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Our Data
Water hardness data is compiled from publicly available reports published by UK water companies including Thames Water, Anglian Water, Severn Trent, Yorkshire Water, United Utilities, Scottish Water, Welsh Water, and others. Hardness levels are measured in parts per million (ppm) of calcium carbonate.
Water hardness can vary slightly within a postcode district depending on the specific supply zone. The values shown represent the typical hardness for each district based on the primary water source.
