Water Hardness by County
CSV spreadsheet containing the hardness level (e.g. Hard to Very Hard) and CACO/ppm values (e.g. 101-200) for all counties in the UK.
Overview
This dataset provides water hardness classifications for all counties in the UK, including hardness level descriptors (e.g., Soft, Hard, Very Hard) and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) concentration in parts per million (ppm). It is an essential resource for households, businesses, appliance manufacturers, plumbing services, and researchers needing insights into regional water quality and its implications.
What’s Included?
- County Name – The administrative county or region (e.g., Surrey, Greater Manchester, Devon).
- Water Hardness Level – A qualitative classification of water hardness, such as:
- Soft (0-50 ppm)
- Moderately Hard (51-100 ppm)
- Hard (101-200 ppm)
- Very Hard (200+ ppm)
- Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) Concentration – The measured range of CaCO₃ in ppm, indicating mineral content.
Why This Data is Useful?
- Households & Consumers – Helps residents understand how water hardness affects appliances, cleaning, and personal care.
- Water Treatment & Filtration Companies – Provides data for recommending appropriate water softening solutions.
- Plumbing & Heating Engineers – Assists in predicting limescale buildup risks in boilers, pipes, and heating systems.
