Hereford is a moderate water area. This means that the water in the area is not as harsh as 60% of the UK which is classed as having hard or very hard water. Moderate water is not an issue. However, it does have higher levels of calcium carbonate than soft water.

When it comes to having a boiler installed, this may mean that an additional hard water filter needs to be fitted as part of the installation.

The reason for this is when moderate to hard/very hard water is heated and left to stand the dissolved calcium carbonate minerals will solidify as limescale, which can build up and affect the efficiency of your heating system. At Boilerhut, we provide a chemical flush of your heating system to remove any existing limescale issues.
