Hard & Soft Water Areas

The water which enters our homes varies depending on where you are in the country.

You may have noticed a considerable difference in the texture and feel of the water, particularly if you have visited naturally soft water areas such as Scotland, Wales, Devon and Cornwall.

Most noticeably you will feel/see a greater lather achieved from soaps & shower gels; however, it’s the lather from shampoo which highlights the biggest difference. Not only does soft water feel softer to the touch, but it can actually leave your hair and skin in a better condition too.

This difference is down to the existence (or not) of minerals in the water. Hard water contains calcium and magnesium which are picked up and absorbed as the water filters through rocks and across the ground before entering our water system.
