Batley Water Hardness
Batley water hardness is rated as soft. While rainwater itself is relatively soft, water hardness can change through the water cycle. Due to the way water filters through rocks in Yorkshire Water's supply area, Batley picks up minerals, such as magnesium or calcium, on the way to your tap. This soft rating additionally means that your washing should be softer, your energy bills more efficient and your appliances should last longer due to a lack of limescale build-up, compared to hard water areas.
