What is my Water Hardness Rating?
The hardness rating of water can vary from region to region depending on its mineral qualities. In essence, the more minerals such as magnesium or calcium that water has acquired as it passes through the water table, the harder its water rating is. The harder your water is, the less effective it will be at tasks such as cleaning clothes, and can lead to limescale build-ups.
