Recommendations

Very hard water areaImportant

Hardness at 302.67 mg/l. Water above 200 mg/l is classified as very hard. Hard water causes limescale buildup in kettles and appliances, reduces soap lathering, and can leave hair feeling dry or stiff.

Elevated nitrate

Nitrate measured at 33.33 mg/l (UK limit: 50 mg/l). Higher nitrate levels are common in agricultural areas due to fertiliser runoff.
