You can find out your water hardness by using a postcode checker or by booking a free home survey.
Understanding your water hardness is important. Water hardness is measured in parts per million (ppm). A soft water area typically has under 60ppm, while a very hard water area would register more than 180ppm.
Methods to Determine Your Water Hardness
To accurately determine the hardness of your home's water, consider these options:
-
Postcode Hardness Finder:
- Enter your postcode into an online postcode hardness finder. This tool provides an estimate of the water hardness in your area based on your location.
-
Free Home Survey:
- Book a free home survey with your local Authorised Kinetico Dealer. During the survey, they will test your water and provide specific hardness results for your home.
Understanding Water Hardness Levels
Water hardness affects everyday life, from how your appliances perform to how your skin and hair feel. Knowing the water hardness allows you to make informed decisions about water treatment and home maintenance.
Here is a general guideline for water hardness levels:
| Water Hardness Level | PPM (Parts per Million) |
|---|---|
| Soft | Under 60 |
| Moderately Hard | 60 - 120 |
| Hard | 120 - 180 |
| Very Hard | Over 180 |
By using one of the above methods, you will be able to determine your specific water hardness and make any necessary adjustments to protect your home and improve your water quality.
