Aqua Cure Launch New Water Hardness Postcode Checker

Aqua Cure have launched a new UK-wide water hardness postcode checker.  People can check their mains supply water hardness as well as some handy solutions on how to reduce the issues caused by hard water by entering their postcode here.

Water is instantly accessible at the turn of a tap in most of our homes, meaning many people have become indifferent to the quality of their water as we don’t have to think before we use it.

However, understanding what’s in your water supply is something everybody who consumes the water should know about. Hard water affects millions of homes throughout the UK and many people do not know their water hardness or its possible affects.

Although the water in the North West of England is generally sourced from upland surface water reservoirs and is therefore classed as ‘soft’ or ‘very soft’, there are pockets of ‘hard’ water which can affect the taste of you water as well as cause appliances to run less efficiently.

The postcode checker includes details of what hard water is, how it’s measured, issues relating to hard water and an introduction to water softeners and water filter systems as viable solutions.

The Managing Director of Aqua Cure David Parkes commented on the newly launched postcode checker:

“We wanted to create something useful for people to gain relevant information about their home. We have vast knowledge of the water industry and we wanted to pass on our experience in an easy to use, simple way“
