Where does hard water come from?
Rainwater is naturally soft but when it flows underground it picks up calcium and magnesium.
These are the minerals that make water hard
Where the water hardness exceeds 200 parts per million (ppm) the new Building Regulations require you to fit a scale prevention device such as a water softener, to prevent the waste of energy and premature scaling of the boiler
