What hard water does
Five quiet, expensive problems.
Most Hampshire homes test in the “hard” or “very hard” range. The damage is gradual — until it isn’t.
/01
Limescale Build-Up
White crusty deposits on taps, showerheads, and inside pipes that reduce water flow and damage fittings.
/02
Watermarks & Stains
Stubborn marks on glass, tiles, and surfaces that keep coming back no matter how often you clean.
/03
Dry Skin & Hair
Hard water strips natural oils, leaving skin feeling tight and hair looking dull and difficult to manage.
/04
Appliance Damage
Limescale coats heating elements in kettles, boilers, and washing machines — shortening their lifespan and increasing energy use.
/05
Extra Cleaning Time
Hard water areas mean more scrubbing, more cleaning products, and more time spent keeping surfaces spotless.
Your area
Hampshire is one of the hardest water areas in England.
Typical hardness across our coverage runs 200–320 ppm CaCO₃. Anything above 200 ppm is officially "hard" — above 300, "very hard."

“Within a fortnight the shower screen was wiping clean and the kettle was bright inside again. Wife noticed her hair before I did.”

“Two years in. Salt every six weeks. Boiler’s quieter, tiles wipe clean. The £1,500 I should have spent ten years earlier.”
