    I was just wondering if anyone knows of a website that will tell me what the water hardness level is for my area? Or for the whole county, be region would also do the job. I did a google search using "water hardness ireland" but didn't come up with anything conclusive.
    Thanks

    Never heard of a "water hardness level" for regions etc... I've only ever come across stuff on water quality parameters etc... This document might be worth a read; http://www.epa.ie/downloads/pubs/water/waterqua/WaterQuality0709.pdf

    there is no set hardness for any area , if you are on a mains supply from the council then your local council should have that info from tests carried out at the water treatment plant .
    If your not on mains supply then every well is potentially different hardness so you would need to get a sample tested , i think all you would need is some of those PH strips to tell you how hard it is , but you would need additional tests to tell exactly what type of hardness its present eg calcium or magnesium etc and if its permanent of temporary hardness.
