With this level of hardness, the water in Putten is fairly soft. This does not mean that there is no limescale in your water, as a water hardness of 6.7 dH still equates to 119.3 grams of limescale in every m³ water. By using a water softener, you can remove all this limescale from your tap water!

Every year, 17.89 kilos of limescale ends up in your water

If your average water consumption is 150 m³ per year, your water softener processes 150 m annually³ x 119.3 grams = 17.89 kilograms of limescale removed from your water! This is how you prevent that annoying limescale build-up that spoils the look of your shower, blocks your coffee machine and shower head, and reduces the efficiency of your hot-water pipes.

Soft water in Putten

The water hardness in Putten is around 6.7 dH. This means that the water in Putten is fairly soft. In southern Europe, for example, water hardness levels of 50 dH are not uncommon. Nevertheless, even this relatively soft water can cause limescale and other adverse effects. Soft water is water that is free of, or has had the calcium removed from, limescale. As soft water does not occur naturally in the Netherlands, a water softener is a good solution for eliminating the adverse effects of limescale.

Water hardness in the rest of the country

The Water hardness in the Netherlands varies considerably: it ranges from just over 2 dH to as much as 15 dH. This is because water is sometimes sourced from low-calcium sources, such as surface water (rivers, streams) or water from the dunes. The water extracted from these sources generally has a low, natural hardness. However, in the Netherlands, groundwater is usually used. This almost always results in much higher water hardness because this water is found in calcium-rich soil layers. This is caused by the remains of shellfish that lived here thousands of years ago – when the Netherlands was still under water.
