Huddersfield Water Hardness
Huddersfield 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, Huddersfield picks up minerals, such as magnesium or calcium, on the way to your tap. Having soft water means that currently, 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 harder water areas.
