Water hardness in Leiden

The water hardness in Leiden is 8,5 dH. 

At this level of hardness, the water in Leiden contains 151.30 grams of calcium carbonate in every m³ water. By using a water softener, you can remove all this limescale from your tap water!

Every year, 22.69 kilos of calcium carbonate ends up in your water

If your average water consumption is 150 m³ per year, your water softener processes 150 m annually³ x 151.30 grams = 22.69 kilograms of limescale removed from your water! This is how you prevent that annoying limescale build-up that spoils the look of your shower, clogs up your coffee machine and shower head, and reduces the efficiency of your hot-water pipes.

Soft water in Leiden

The water hardness in Leiden is around 8.5 dH. This means that the water in Leiden is quite hard. In the Netherlands, the average water hardness is 8 dH, and from 2.4 dH onwards, you will start to experience the drawbacks of limescale. As soft water does not occur naturally in the Netherlands, a water softener is a good solution to avoid the adverse effects of limescale to get rid of.

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.
