Different parts of the country have hard water and some have softer water. Water has to pass through varying different landscapes, sediments and natural rock structures, picking up differing levels of minerals. For instance, if rainwater falls onto porous rocks such as limestone, the water will pick up minerals such as calcium making it harder. If it falls on rock such as granite, not so many minerals will be picked up, keeping the water softer.
Throughout East Sussex, the water is hard, with Eastbourne and Brighton being some of the hardest water in Great Britain!
What are water softeners?
Water softeners are devices that are designed to combat the damaging effects of hard water. In this context, soft and hard water does not relate to how the water feels but instead the mineral content.
Hard water has a high mineral content or an excess of calcium and magnesium. A water softener will remove some of these minerals from your water.
The issue with hard water
Hard water doesn’t pose any serious health threats to your body but your home is a different story. It can certainly wreak havoc on your kitchen appliances and plumbing. Limescale build up reduces the efficiency of dishwashers, washing machines, coffee makers, and even kettles. Anything that has water running through it. Additionally, it can leave spots on dishes and glassware, making them appear less clean.
