Dinnington Water Hardness
Dinnington water hardness is rated as soft water. While rainwater itself is relatively soft, water hardness can change through the water cycle. Due to the way water filters through rocks in Dinnington Water's supply area, Dinnington water picks up minerals, such as magnesium or calcium, on the way to your tap.
Soft water means that your laundry should be softer after washing, your energy bills lower, and appliances will last longer as there will be less build-up of limescale.
