Water Quality

Water Quality
Check the quality of water in your area.

Do you live in one of these hard water areas?
Well over half of the homes in the British Isles are supplied with water from a hard water source. A glance at the map will show you areas with hard water. If you live in one of these areas a water softener supplied by Lakeside would make all the difference to the quality of your water.

Hard Water - The Cycle
When naturally soft water passes through layers of chalk or limestone rock, it absorbs the minerals calcium and magnesium, and becomes 'hard'. The more minerals absorbed the harder the water.

Over 60% of Britain suffers from hard water problems, because although water is treated before it reaches our taps, the hard minerals remain, causing scale and scum.
