Cardiff Water Hardness Report
Official mineral water quality analysis, local catchment breakdown, appliance salt calibration, and postcode outcode directory for Cardiff.
Cardiff tap water is pleasantly soft, supplied by Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water from the scenic upland reservoirs of the Brecon Beacons, including Llwyn-on, Cantref, and Beacons reservoirs in the Taff catchment. With average hardness of roughly 72 PPM, Welsh capital households enjoy low-limescale living. Kettles need only occasional cleaning, taps do not clog with scale crusts, and morning tea brews bright and aromatic.
