Glasgow Water Hardness Report
Official mineral water quality analysis, local catchment breakdown, appliance salt calibration, and postcode outcode directory for Glasgow.
Glasgow's drinking water is widely celebrated as some of the finest tap water in Europe. Originating in Loch Katrine in the Scottish Highlands, the city's supply has been piped through aqueducts and tunnels since Victorian civil engineer John Bateman completed the scheme in 1859. With an average hardness rating of just 22 PPM, Glasgow's water contains almost undetectable levels of calcium carbonate. Household kettles never develop fur, chrome fixtures retain their mirror shine without scrubbing, and Scottish tea brews with full-bodied aroma and clear liquor, free of surface scum.
