What type of water area are you in ?

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

In this fascinating thread we will take a look at what type of water area people are in, there are three types, they are;

Soft

Medium

Hard

I know I am in a soft water area, I don’t exactly know what this means, but we get a lot less lime scale in our kettles than they do in hard water areas. Once we have got all the results in, they will then be tallied up and we will have an interesting discussion about the merits of living in our given regions, for example those in hard water areas might be a lot hornier than those in soft water areas.

So, to recap are you in a soft, medium or hard water area ?

(Predictably,some sage will say ‘wet’ in regards to their water area, this is to be totally expected, just move on and ignore their comment.)

Since I’ve started the thread I’ve done more research, there are some more detailed maps that include the following;

No information

Soft

Moderately soft

Slightly hard

Moderately hard

Hard

Very hard

No public supply

I think I’ve bitten off more than I can chew.

Virtually all of Devon and Cornwall is soft, but there’s a small area in Cornwall that is moderately soft, I don’t know what’s going on here, I will look further at this, wonder if it’s anything to do with the tin mines.

The geology of your region will determine whether you have hard or soft water supply.

You’re welcome. Rainfall is naturally soft, but once it falls and begins to percolate through the rock, calcium, magnesium and other minerals are dissolved into it.

Having checked my friend Google I'm in a soft area.

I'm 1 mile away from the North Sea here in South Shields. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

But I've learned something new today

it all depends on what type of rock formation you water runs over to get to the reservoir your water is supplied from and that could be miles from the city you live in. Hard water will take a lot more soap to make suds compared to soft water areas. medium is the perfect as both soft and hard can bring problems. We get ours from the west Pennine moors so it is medium

Hard. If you're a fish keeper, water type is actually quite important. But most people have no idea that certain fish will do better in certain types of water.

Yup. Most hobbyist fish are imported so the country of catch/breeding is what they will thrive in.

There are British breeders for specific desirable fish now that moot this point in some cases.

Interesting, I wonder if the fish can adapt. As a side note I saw a heron today by the river, he was stood by a little waterfall waiting for fish to get stranded I guess, I watched him for a while but didn’t see him catch anything.

Mine is a soft water area. My soap foams up much better here than it does at my southern friend’s house.

Fish can adapt, but living at sub-optimal conditions makes them prone to disease, like any animal would be.

Hard water has high pH. This can cause alkaline hydrolysis.

Hard water also has a high proportion of charged cations which causes certain active ingredients to lock onto them and thus render them far less effective.

"Hard. If you're a fish keeper, water type is actually quite important. But most people have no idea that certain fish will do better in certain types of water.

I did not know this.

Yup. Most hobbyist fish are imported so the country of catch/breeding is what they will thrive in.

There are British breeders for specific desirable fish now that moot this point in some cases.

Interesting, I wonder if the fish can adapt. As a side note I saw a heron today by the river, he was stood by a little waterfall waiting for fish to get stranded I guess, I watched him for a while but didn’t see him catch anything.

Fish can adapt, but living at sub-optimal conditions makes them prone to disease, like any animal would be.

I have a resident heron, fascinating to watch! I've watched a kingfisher hunt locally before to, much tinier than I was expecting.

I’ve never seen a kingfisher in the wild, I thought I Glimpsed a fleeting shock of blue once in the mist on a riverbank, but I couldn’t be sure."

Along the lower river dart in south devon's pretty good for seeing them in summer

I’ve been informed by Nell Gywnn her of the bumchin, that in North Yorkshire the water is soft and imbued with magical properties due to the high concentration of Fairy poo that washes down from up the dale.

Very hard. Within 2 days of getting a new kettle it was disgusting. There are quite a few vineyards around here because it's so chalky.

Need to invest in a water softener.

Bloody expensive. Watering the gardens can hit €1200 per month in the summer. That's Spain for you. It's desalinated seawater.
